My brother switched to Mac a while ago, and pretty much the first thing he commented on as the major difference was that he could actually use quicktime.

I'm on a Mac right now, and this is absolutely correct. QuickTime handles nearly everything once you have Perian installed. It means that suddenly you have a capable mini-player for watching nearly anything. And it's very smooth, too: it has a bunch of nifty little features that I'm sure the Windows version doesn't have.
