See I love Apples new hardware. I can't wait for them to come out with their dual CoreDuo towers. Hell I hope that they'll hit the quad cores next year some time. I'd LOVE an 8 core workstation.
I also love MacOS X. The systems is damn good... IF you have enough ram and proc for it.
Well the new CoreDupos are definitely enough proc, and you can always buy the RAM (up to 8 gigs), so that's covered.
The problem has been that I NEED windows for some things. A few months ago I said the second I could get a viable windows installation on an apple machine alongside OSX, I was going to have to buy one.
Well I guess it's time to start saving the pennies... hell I need a new laptop anyway:

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) - Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) (AAPL) on Wednesday unveiled new software that allows Intel-based Macs to run Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)'s Windows XP software. Apple shares rose nearly 7 percent in early trading.
The computer maker said its new "Boot Camp" software is available as a download beginning Wednesday. It allows users with a Microsoft Windows XP installation disc to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac computer.
"Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors," Philip Schiller, Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.
Boot Camp makes it easier to install Windows software on an Intel-based Mac, with a step-by-step guide. It also lets users choose to use either Mac OS X software, or the Windows software when they restart their computer.
Users can download the new Boot Camp software from Apple's Web site. A final version of Boot Camp will be available as a feature in the upcoming Mac OS X version 10.5 "Leopard."
Apple shares gained $4.07, or 6.7 percent, to $65.24 in early trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, while Microsoft shares rose 23 cents to $27.87 and shares of Intel Corp. (INTC) rose 9 cents to $19.39.
