Windows 7 will be outstanding, that is if they keep it like the beta version.
There is only one problem with Apple, they screw you on the price! If I were to duplicate the computer configuration that I am on to a Mac Pro the price would be $3449. The computer I am on cost me less than $1500 to build.
I have built all of my on computers and in total over the last 10 years I have built about 500 computers for people. I stay abreast of the newest hardware and I can tell you that the Apples are way over priced given the hardware used.
While Apple lovers do not like to hear it, most people are better off with Windows based PC’s since they use them at work in the majority of cases. Plus if you are handy with a screw driver you can build a high performance PC for way less money then upgrade it as newer hardware comes down in price, thus keeping it current.

Your current computer is running dual Intel Nehalem Xeon processors that retail for over $2000 each? How did you get two of them into your $1500 computer?
