Well, I guess that Apple finally got the point.
I had an early mac and the never ending "upgrade the hardware/upgrade 
the os" cycle was really irritating.
Then about 10 years back my dad bought a mac and he went thought the same bit.
Need a new piece of software, you have to upgrade the OS to run it, 
Oh wait, you have to upgrade the hardware to run the new OS.

He finally got a pc to get away from that and so far he has not had 
any problems with XP.

But with all the issues that I'm hearing with Vista for a power user, 
I'm leaning towards a Mac for my next laptop.
