Yes create different user accounts to be safe imo. I have not tried the snow leopard yet but we run leopard 10.5.x and it works great.
Also another cool thing is a lot of your printers will be plug and play so no need to download drivers or keep disk around like a pc....so its great for buying adhesive backed labels in bulk off ebay and using them with any printer in sight if your mobile with a apple labtop.
The new mac's don't have a phone jack if your doing the dial-up route but apple does sell them for about $50. You can buy them off ebay for about $25-$30 though and they are external usb to phone jack.
Yet another thing about apple is its super easy to make the computer broadcast a internet signal if your hardwired in and send signal out like a router....pcs have this option too I think but its a pita trying to set it up smoothly.
You will be happy with the apple. If you want windows on it just get a program called parallels...the newest version is really good.
Check out the rokland RAlink N3 extended wireless device to pick up high speed IP's from far away. It works well on the macs and its $39.99  !
There hope this info helps...
