I see, so the MBP is this magical thing that resolves your hatred of Microsoft, allowing you to use XP on it and be happy again?

Not at all. I don't have a hatred of MS, nor a love affair with Apple. I was agreeing that the Parallels option on a Mac makes it easy to justify the switch to some people because they can keep their XP programs and have the benefit of whatever drew them to OSX and Apple in the first place.
