I am literally dazzled by your profound insight and yet amazed to witness Redmond Fanboys. - I thought if you were so into tinkering under the hood you'd be running some custom Linux kernel... 
Still, to be serious for a mo, I've always found productivity to be more important than a competition to see who can p**s the highest !
Bear in mind that this was a question about the merits of xp x86 vs win7 x64 and DX9 vs DX10. Something which other visitors to the forum might find of use.
The stuff arrives tomorrow so the win7 hell ( I mean 'learning curve') can begin.

I personally don't have anything against MAC/Apple at all. The very first computer I ever owned (not used) was an Apple IIc, I had many a great programming adventure on that thing. My parents berated me for spending so much ime in my room tapping on that keyboard.
But then I got the gaming bug, Blade Runner, Castle Wolfenstein (the text block version) ... it was all down hill from there
If there was as much development support for Apple / Linux in gaming as there is for PC's I'd be swapping in a heart beat. I recall some guys on the UBI forums getting IL-2 running on Ubuntu Linux, they reported a massive frame rate increase compared to Win. I'm pretty sure it was due to all the background crap Windows has running taking up resources. The trouble was their joysticks and TrackIR had no Linux support.
