[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 902271"] The decider for me was seeing WinXPPro running on an iMac in the store and realizing it ran faster on the iMac than it did in my quad-core Dell Inspiron! The difference was that on the iMac, they had no virus protection, just the operating system, which is pretty quick. My setup is that I run most stuff in OSX, but when I absolutely have to shift to WinXP, it's a virtual image in VMWare that I have carefully backed up. If it gets hit with viri, I can just whack it and restore the clean backup. I thought I'd spend more time in XP, but over the year I've had the iMac, I've only rarely been forced back to the XP by some unique need. [/QUOTE]
