Thank you all for your replys.
I see that using a Mac and then running the Windows Version would much better. I just forgot that the Mac version was very different and does lack features that the Windows version has.

It's also true that I could get a monster of a PC for what I would pay for the Mac I'm looking at. I mean really, what a monster I could have if I spent $1200 to $1500 on a Windows PC. I never even think of PCs in the $1500 price range anymore.

The third point made was that everyone seems to be very happy with Win7. And Windows 8 is coming soon. That's something to think about. I skipped Vista like most people, or at least many people did. I remember the early days of Vista. The Internet was jammed with stuff about Vista problems. I had the feeling that if Windows 7 didn't work well it might have been a turning point for Microsoft.

Thank you all for your advice and info. Whenever I get this in my head, which is about once every few years, I come to my sences and wonder what I was thinking. I'm just thinking now how great a PC I could get for $800 to $1000. It would be pretty sweet.

The Linux option I never tried. I use a 10 year old Pentium 4 in my back bedroom for small thing. Streaming radio at night. Just think what I could do if I turned my Core 2 Duo into a Linux machine. It's from 2007 and it's loaded.

Thanks again. It was a lot of optioned I just plain forgot.
