For the specialty software part, the reverse is true - what if you're taking a Visual Arts Course and you have to use Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro etc? No actual Windows counterpart there, though you can find a substitute - it goes both ways.
Adobe premier, Nuendo and Cubase come to mind. I know fthe FX for the original X men movie were done on a PC. You have way more options for software on a PC.
