^ I agree that if you're an engineering major or compsci, a PC is the way to go (in Berkeley at least). But it's not true that all science majors do better with windows.
As an astrophysics major we're constantly connecting to berkeley servers, telescope computers, etc etc. In Astronomy and the general physics(quantum, optics, em, etc) most mainframes run on UNIX, so connecting with a mac is as easy as it gets. Macs can also bring up documents in certain programming units (LaTex, IDL, Emacs, etc) that a PC cannot.
So again, one isn't intrinsically "better" then another, it just depends what your uses/needs are.
