Buy a maxxed-out Mac with BootCamp. That way you can still run Windows on it.

Yes I agree. Get the MAC and install Windows on it with Boot camp. You decide if you want the laptop or the desktop. But since the MAC will run VISTA perfectly with boot camp, it makes no sense to buy anything else. In fact, the MACBOOK Pro was recently named the fastest windows laptop ever.

If you want to play around with MAC OS, it will always be there. For many, Windows is just too complicated and they love the lack of choices the MAC gives them. Everything has a cute name, and the whole thing runs just great. There is no confusing two button mouse (way too hard to figure out for that hippie guy on their TV commercials). Only that disheveled nerd guy could handle an extra button right?

One word of advice, get the biggest hard drive you can because the installation of two operating systems uses a lot of room.

Don’t worry about trying to figure out about Boot camp, because it is easy as pie, just like everything else on MAC O/S.

Better still than "bootcamp" is Parallels. Win apps running right there on the Mac desktop next to Mac apps.

Parallels, VMWare, whatever it's called. I'm only enjoying this vicariously right now.
