Depending on what you like/prefer out of them both, i'd pick Windows for multiple reasons tbf. You can program on it just as good as Macbook' and also you can watch films just as good too if you get a good enough graphics card. You just need to be wise and build the pc and not buy a built up one. Macbooks are a good running pc for developing/programming/films/editing etc but they aren't so great for gaming. Where as Windows, you'll have a better gaming experience if you do decide to game for abit.
This might not be exactly on topic but are you at all interested in mobile development? If you feel that then the MBP may be the way to go for IOS development. Since you already have a windows PC I see no harm in going with MBP, it's a nice laptop and since you're not going to be gaming on it I see no downside as long as you can get a used one in good condition in your budget.
I've been in your shoes bud. I'm a windows guy, the operating system is amazing. I can't fuck with mac books. Apples laptops are for people that do not develop shit, just use it.. coming from experience.
Hardware does't matter, common guys... Like seriously I can buy a mac book and run windows on if I wanted, same goes with running mac os x on something windows normally comes on, like a dell laptop.
Anyways, I prefer windows because I game on my PC and pretty much every game runs on windows, can't say the same for other os's such as mac os, linux, etc... So if you're wanting to game, get windows, if you want a free os go for mac os or linux
Edit: With your budget it'll be super hard to find a decent macbook, so go with a windows based laptop, much cheaper. Also, if you want mac os x, you can always uninstall windows and install it, because with macbooks you're really just paying for the brand, like all other apple products
