I'm pretty sure you can dual boot on Macs. Once that's done, you can just delete the Mac partition.

I bought a macbook because my last three windows laptops died without any good reason; one got bad software from a friend (offline, I might add), and the other just melted. So I went mac, thinking, "I don't do PC gaming anyways."

...

Big f#%$& mistake. >.> Sure, it's worked reliably, fast, and crash-free for about 3 years now (I am NOT a safe internet user, believe me), and done all of my basic functions pretty well, but damn...

Let me put it to you this way-the moment you want to scratch the surface of the homebrew community, you NEED windows. There is none of this s#%$& for mac. Parallels is a f#%$& slow turd, boot camp stopped working along with my disk drive (oh god I f#%$& hate not being able to open it up; I have two Baldur's Gate 2 CDs and a Palcomix DVD crammed in my disk drive for some reason and I can't get this s#%$& out!), and I have to deal with this s#%$&.

Mac's are at the sametime over- and underrated. Overrated by all the fanboy f#%$& who would defend it the way I defend Super Smash Bros as a competitive fighter; your computer is NOT THAT GOOD. Underrated by all the windows gamers who consider themselves better because their computer can run Counterstrike and HL2 natively (FYI, macs can do that too now). Mac is not a bad machine. The software is f#%$& incredible; I get used to the smoothness of use and just can't use windows anymore; it feels clanky and slow. The actual OS is very secure and it certainly runs like a charm. But obviously, you have the clear disadvantages... You have to pay so much more, and the hardware is terrible. Plus, third party support is virtually non-existent aside from Adobe, Blizzard, and a slew of Open Source designers like Mozilla.

All in all? I wouldn't go mac again. >.> If you have any idea what you're doing (well, okay, if you're decent with a computer), mac is just... nah. The only things I'd really miss are the sleek, intuitive design and the ability to download random s#%$& from TPB with impunity to any viruses that might be included.

Funny how you say overpriced when once you get a PC you then have to pay for Anti-Virus, lets say Trend Internet Pro Version $129 per year so for 5 years, and extra $645. Macs don't get viruses so you don't need any of that, so subtract $645 from price.
Say you've got Windows Vista Home Basic and you want to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, (WIndows Home Basic usually comes on computers the price of Macbook, $1299 - $645, = $654) that will cost you over $400. on a Mac, Leopard to Snow Leopard, just $39.So $654 - (400 - 39) = $298. (Mac doesn't have versions such as Home Basic, Premium, Business, etc)
So when you compare a PC with Windows Vista Home Basic over a five year period a Macbook is worth $298.
One other thing, if you want to develop for a platform, on a PC yes you can get "Express Editions" but for full software solutions you'll need the full thing, i.e. Visual Studio, a couple of grand. On a mac everything you need to develop for Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPad is given to you for free, the whole thing no express rubbish and no money; "http://developer.apple.com"
Lets say $1000 for Visual Studio, (I am being nice) 298 - 1000 = $-702
What were you saying about overpriced?
So the above evidence proves that Macs are not overpriced (I could go on for hours i.e. DDR3 Ram on Mac as opposed to DDR2 on PC, Crashing, Spyware, Malware, dll's the registry, disk defragmentation (don't have to do that on a Mac because it doesn't get fragmented in the first place), the user account control) and PC's are overpriced. I should post this on your forum.

Never tried linux. Heard from various places that it's kind of hard to use. Didn't bother trying.
