There really will be no advantages or disadvantages between the two other than price; you're going to be using Linux anyway so the PC/Mac argument is null and void.
Yes, you can run Linux as a virtual machine on both PC and Mac.
Backtrack is no longer supported, the new distro is Kali Linux.
I would suggest having a quick read through my post here as it's got a few links for newer users as well as a quick rundown on how we do things here. Also, I recommend getting a bit more I.T. experience under your belt as hacking requires a solid understanding of the foundational I.T. skills.

Thanks GHOST I have read a few of you comments and think your pretty cool and know what your talking about, well that's solves everything going to buy a Mac during the week (:
If you want to type my name without making the rest of your text italics, just use the underscore twice in succession like so _.

Bob,
As Ghost said, the PC/Mac doesn't matter if you are using a virtual machine for hacking. If you are just hacking without any virtual machines, than windows would definitely be the best because of its range of options and software.
