Apple has a slight advantage here because you're using their drivers. OpenCL, for instance, "just works" on Apple because they control the whole driver.

On the other hand, the latest bleeding edge drivers or new GPU functionality is usually just a download away on Windows. Things you usually have to wait until the next big OS release on Apple to take advantage of.

apple STILL hasn't done SLI / Crossfire and those are old school on PC's now. apple is 1-2 years behind on graphics card support and new features in drivers. given all their blah  blah blah about grand centeral dispatch, I'm surprised they didn't finally do sli / crossfire with 10.7. Well at least there is CUDA on mac which stays current because the updates come directly from nV, thats a major miracle.
