Many persons here do not think that anyone will purchase an Apple box to put Windows or Linux on, but that is precisely what I intend to do. I will purchase an Apple Intel based notebook and immediately install both Windows and Linux. I have heard good things about OS X but cannot afford to learn a new OS and be unproductive for any extended period of time. By using Windows or Linux on the notebook when I need to be productive and learning to be proficient in OS X when I don't I will have the best of both worlds. And like an earlier poster mentioned I would love to have the option of moving to Final Cut Pro some day. P.S. I also love Apple's hardware, but have not used OS X so have not yet been able to form an opinion on it one way or the other.
