"And if you want to play a game, you’re mostly stuck with, um, about nothing. Starcraft II and thats about it."

Not true at all. All the good titles are eventually ported for Mac. But if you can't wait, you can set up a windows partition.

I will say this. If you want to really scream, go Hackintosh. It is truly the best of both worlds.

I’ve looked at building a Hackintosh for a couple of years now. Can’t seem to find the right hardware combination that will work 100% of the time without fiddling and tweaking with this and that. Not gonna spend the $$$ on the hardware unless I know to a certainty it’s all going to work out of the box.

Got my wife away from windows a couple of years ago with a refurb MacBookPro and although she infrequently complains, it is less each month. My "OS repair time has gone down significantly. The hardware is excellent, OS X 10.6 is a good BSD Unix. My main support is to run software update as necessary and run TimeMachine every couple of weeks.

(Disclaimer: I last used windows early in 2004 and have been a unix and linux since the '70s). I now have 2 Hackintoshes (family license) to go with my aging SuSE9.2 machine.
