Cmon dudes, don't you think this "mine is bigger than yours" argument that people have over operating systems all the time is getting old now? The windows users bemoan the fact that Apple hardware is "a waste of money", and the Apple users complain about all the hassle of maintaining windows. (and the linux guys just like giving stuff away for free cause theyre such nice people :D ) If you do a "real" comparison between Mac and PC's you'll see that the initial purchase of a Mac isnt expensive compared to a PC. Upgrading using Apple parts however, is. Dont believe me? Go check the prices of a laptop with 9400M Nvidia gfx, card, 2.0 Core 2 duo processor. Just a few bucks less than A white macbook. Hell, Windows alone is costing hundreds of dollars for the "full version" (Vista Ultimate) Funny enough, I actually bought a Mac today. OSX is great, but there are still one or two things I miss about Windows. Havent used XCode yet, but Visual Studio is a great set of tools, regardless. Bottom line - dont buy a Mac just cause you think it will magically fix all your Windows problems.

Maybe i will try linux again myself. I had it going on my machine in 2005 and the usb drivers were giving problems to say the least. Just got a copy of the new ubuntu 7.whatever and im gonna install it and give linux another go. Want to try mono out as well
