If you seriously think they use $1,000 PCs and not $3,000 workstations to do it (just as well) on Windows, then I guess I can see where you're coming from. Otherwise, it's lost upon me.Macs have dominated the music industry for years. This is why Apple has a Grammy. Traditionally Macs have been easier for musicians to use not having to worry about DOS errors years ago.
Macs were what you made music on which is why I went to Mac over 20 years ago.
Most people would be amazed at how many of their favorite songs are recorded, mixed and mastered on a Mac and have been for years.
Whenever you hear a song on Pandora and said "Mac" you would probably be correct 9 out 10 times.
When it comes to producing music and film price isn't a concern for a professional. Ease of use a familiarity is.
PC's are being used in professional audio applications but I believe Macs still very much dominate.
I would much rather spend 3K or more on a Mac Pro than 1K on a PC for my use. I could basically take a Mac Pro and plug it in to the wall and keep working. I couldn't do that with a PC.

The price difference between PC and Mac in the WORKSTATION Market (with similar specs on each machine) is much less than the difference between the two in the DESKTOP PC market because that market segment simply isn't as price sensitive as the consumer market.
Mac Pros are Workstation-Class machines, not General Purpose Desktop PCs. Compare an iMac to the $1,000 Windows PC, not a Mac Pro. Comparing a Mac Pro to that makes no sense. Such a cheap PC won't even be able to run Pro Apps well with any decently-sized projects.
Also, yes, you can do that with a PC. Windows runs many of the same Pro Apps as OSX with virtually the same feature set and performance assuming similar machine specifications. Plug it in and keep working, just don't try to do what is meant for a workstation on an underpowered desktop.
