Diginerd, the Mac Pro really does come at a premium. Maybe you're thinking of the Macbooks - they're actually very good hardware compared to regular HP or Dell laptops at the same price.
I also don't get what you're talking about with the window manager. Windows apps aren't forced to have any kind of "container" window; just look at MSN messenger. If some particular sequencer hasn't been designed with multiple monitors in mind, that's the vendor's fault, not Microsoft's.
I've never been a fan of Apple's window management, personally. The menu placement is inconvenient, and the lack of a real maximize button is just plain annoying (Apple lovers rave about the "zoom", but that's totally useless when the content is actually scaled to the window size, i.e. almost any web site). Of course that's not all, but I don't really feel like getting further into it.
It's simply a matter of taste. Windows' window management isn't any more "dated" than Apple's. I'll admit that Exposé blows that crappy Flip3D out of the water, but aside from that, the differences aren't earth-shattering (and you can replace Flip3D with several 3rd-party tools that work similar to Exposé).
