I've started to think about it like this, I switched full time over to Mac's last year. I've been using Microsoft since the DOS days. Mac OS loads and has a memory footprint of approximately 100meg XP can easily chew up 420meg+ (approx) - Vista will probably need even more memory. - My point is for me Vista will have nothing new, and need a top notch machine to run happily.

I'm hoping to switch to an a MacBook Pro once the core duo 2 chips ship. Intend to Virtualise XP in order to use my Sony Reader.
