Furthermore, the last time I bought a machine Apple didn't offer a Mac with a top end NVidia video card. That was a deal breaker even without having to hack the OS to run my Windows programs.

I didn't have that problem way back in 2001 when I got the Quicksilver G4.

That might be the case. In 2007, however, I was intending to buy a machine with a Geforce 8800GTX. Apple didn't have it. I think the quickest thing they were offering from NVidia was a Geforce 7600, a mid range card a full generation behind what the PC manufacturers were selling.
