    I am not a great Mac fan. I am very comfortable with my PC using Windows xp. Wild horses can not make me change over to Vista with which a lot of my friends are having problems.

    Or you could clean off that PC and install Ubuntu!

    I did that about 3 months ago and haven’t looked back.

    I think I commented already, but it didn’t show up :(

    Anyways, good commercial, but you could always wipe that PC and try Ubuntu instead of waiting for a nicely sized Mac.

    I switched from XP to Ubuntu months ago and haven’t looked back.

    I definitely agree that building your own PC will give you more power for the same price. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a “manufactured” desktop computer… I’ve been using Vista since it went retail, and I’ve haven’t had any problems with it (besides when it said it was not genuine, but that’s more of a error, than a problem :P ).

    The thing about Macs is they’re overpriced. You could build a Windows desktop that has way more power for the same price. I’m not a fan of the Ctrl-Click for the equivalent of a right click, although using a mouse from another manufacturer would likely fix that.

    Now, if only you could easily build your own laptops…
