[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1167701"] I'm going to be contrary and strongly recommend that you DO purchase a Mac. First off, you will love it. Secondly these specialized Windows apps are probably vertical-market stuff that don't require a high-end machine to run, so a virtualizer like VirtualBox, VMWare's Fusion or Parallels should easily and enjoyably let you pick and choose between Windows and Mac with barely a thought. Third, when it comes to Quicken and QuickBooks you *want* the Windows version. See above. As for everything else on your list other than the windows-specific apps -- the Mac will do them more enjoyably, from opening PDFs to playing music. A really *quality* PC costs about the same as a good Mac, so why not the best? [/QUOTE]
