Damn. My reasons for not buying a Mac are getting fewer by the day...

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.

If that releases you from the fear of buying the hardware (I *love* my Intel iMac), then by all means.
For me, I'm going to get more excited when somebody ships a Virtual PC product running at near-native speeds. Dragging and dropping between the platforms and allowing me to open it in its own window that I can switch to without losing all that Mac Goodness(tm) is key.
But if you want it mainly as a gaming platform for when you're not getting stuff done, then this might be as good or better an option.
I think "fear" is a little strong of a word, don't you? I'm not afraid of hardware. Hell, I usually build my own computers from parts.
What I *am* afraid of is investing big bucks in a platform that forces me to throw away my not-inconsiderable investment in Win32 software. Anything that eases that is welcome.
Didn't say fear of hardware--said fear of *buying* that particular hardware, which is synonymous with the platform in the case of Apple.
