Actually apparently now you can sort of play games on macs, either if it's supported on mac osx, or if you have windows booted in some virtual or something. however when one thinks about it, why would one want to spend a bit for essentially a normal PC with pretty packaging (can't be denied they are fashionable).
To Vicky about skrillex and all these "celebrities" getting macs, it could also be because of it being a fashion sense. Since they got the money and probably don't have the technical know how, they assume a mac is better. But those that do have technical know how, know better and know it's better to make a machine to best suit your needs. You can also make a machine for far cheaper this way and probably just as resilient as a mac if you spend wisely on the better parts. If you buy crappy parts, expect a crappy pc. That's all it really boils down to.
As for viruses on windows, unless you use internet explorer or something you really don't get infected as much as the Apple adverts say. You really have to do it on purpose to get infected, by say downloading massive amounts of pirated software with no protection. If you just use your computer normally, you almost never get infected. I got hit with one maybe once (my fault entirely lulz), but even then I just recovered pretty easily using a boot that I backed up. No prob =P
Also you can just use linux if you don't even like windows. Mac OSX is essentially baby's version of linux (it's built off of FreeBSD that NeXT *company steve jobs worked at after leaving apple the first time* was using for their OS). When NeXT was bought by Apple, they acquired the FreeBSD based OS along with Steve *again* and that is where Mac OSX came to be. it's linux with all customization removed. So one could run something relatively smooth with a PC. Just have to have the know how

Edit: I also like to add that most PCs you buy at the store usually have crappy parts, hence why they seem to die fast. All I can say is that my current PC is 5 years old and is still going. I spent pretty good money on good parts and it was well spent.
