PowerPC or Intel based Mac? If it was Intel, did you give up before bootcamp
befor came about?

I own Mac's and I own PC's, I _use_ PC's but I *love* Macs.


It was the first Mac Mini based on the PowerPC. I haven't tried the new Intel based Mac's.

Running Windows XP on a Mac seems somewhat backwards to me, like not using the right tool for the job. But then again, I don't have any fashion sense either.

Seems backward to me too, but I do it. :) I use BootCamp to boot in to Windows for my day job. Then boot in to OS X at all other times. This little black MacBook is a nice machine.

I know I'd get a Mac from now on for all Windows work too. An 8 core Mac running Windows? They are rumored to be coming soon. Oh baby! :)
