Not quite so. To have really accurate colours on a Mac, you'll need a 
freshly calibrated long tube CRT reference monitor run in an almost dark 
room. I experienced this in prepress for multi-million $$ ad campaign 
printing, so it's not the affordable end of calibrated colour ;-)

PCs have had adequate colour management since NT4 or so. We were doing 
book repro with it no problems about five years ago.
