After just a couple of Windows upgrades you'd be ahead money wise.
Windows 7 Ultimate is $499 here. Apple OS X is $30.
I got 6 years out of my Powerbook which is now being used by someone else and still runs OS X fine.
I've had 3 years years out of my secondary Macbook Pro and it also still runs fine.
Most people I know running PC notebooks tend to need to upgrade every 2 years or so.
So over the lifetime of the machine I might spend a couple of hundred more dollars than a Windows PC user. For fucks sake I can spend more than that cost difference on a trip to the pub.
I'll wont lose sleep over spending a few dollars more.
