The killer option is a Windows/OS X dual-boot workstation, but it
looks like that won't happen for a while. The various items I've read
are somewhat unclear, but, apparently, dual-boot XP+OS X is not a
possibility with the new macs because of BIOS/firmware issues. However
Vista+OS X will be possible and, IMO, poses a major threat to linux.
