My Tiger setup.

Macs are just pretty. Just too pretty.

When you can have more than one window of a program running on macs then I'll get one.

I don't get it. And I'll just run parallels if I want to do anything I can do on windows that I can't do on my Mac OS.

So the consensus is Mac is better?

Depends on what you are using it for and if money is an issue? If you are just using it to type up documents and look at the internet, stick to what OS you are used to.

If you are doing stuff with the arts or know Macs, go Mac IMO.

I'm currently building up my own rig, primarily for gaming so it'll end up with Vista but I wholeheartedly want to get OSX onto it as well. I'm just really concerned that I've heard about needing haxxor skills to crack coding to install OSX onto a non-Apple PC. Apparently they have **** on the OS that blocks you from installing onto something that isn't one of Apples own so that whatever you do you HAVE to buy a Mac (unless you breach the TOS). That's the main thing that scares me about apple; the fact that they greedily cling to any monopolisation they can and purposefully make life hard for home-builders.

But you're buying a pre-made so that's not really a concern.
