They are too expensive though.

No crashes?
You can't crash W7 even If you wanted to. The only way to provoke a BSOD is to install hardware the mobo/bios doesn't like.
Just like always: If the PC fails, check for the problem 60cm in front of it.
It's usually the 3rd party progis that crash your PC(XP,Vista), as they are not available for macs - no crashes.


Viruses:
Now this is just a matter of time (or rather: market share).
Mackies will soon enjoy them in their full bloom too.


They look "nice" though. Not really my stile as I like white only for cars.
I'm more the industrial/military guy.
I actually thought about putting my HTPC in a used server rack(they're black, have handholds and look brutal, hooyah) - does anyone know if ATX boards and standard PSUs will fit in?


FlushMeister:
Your office looks so clean it's actually gay, lol.
No, seriously; I can't spot a single piece of paper or a pen.
What exactly do you do there?

Thanks, of course I cleaned it up for the photo, i had just switched to mac so I had to take it, I know it's almost ghey but I assure you I have a wife and 2 kids ))) I'm a concept artist and illustrator you can see some stuff here, www.johnliberto.com

I actually did the spitfire and P63 skins in Il2 way back too, and also did the FW190 cockpit mod etc.

A week after I got my mac stuff, i got hired by microsoft.... (to work on the halo franchise) pretty ironic huh?

The tablet under the left monitor is for drawing, so I work all digital in photoshop so no paper or pens needed...

Cheers!

Nice artwork there John, I like your fluid painting style; really atmospheric.

LOL.
I knew it.
The die hard Mac users, from what I heard they are/always were first choice for this purpose.

I'm going to send your "Mac user's wet dream" to a few friends(mac fans of course) - I wonder what their reactions will be.

I also recently read an article on tom hardware that interviewed several professional IT guys and the subject was Mac OS vs win7. They said mac was easier to get viruses because they lack the degree of updates that win gets. They said mac dont get viruses like win 7 and the like because its not worth the time for the programmers to write a virus for something that isnt in a worthwhile quantity (10% market share). Other reviews sites say theres not much difference between them. Games wise win7 usually wins hands down for performance.
