Umm people pay for MacOSX?  Isn't it just Darwin BSD in the background but with a fisherprice GUI/desktop environment?

That makes Macs 10x worse than I previously thought.

@Michael:

OSX is way more then a GUI ontop of Darwin.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Trust, bootcamp is the way to go, although parallels is nice but it gives me a lot of needless issues. Apparently, you can use your bootcamp partition inside of parallels but that still hasn't worked 100% for me.

I just bought a 15" Macbook Pro (2.2GHz SR / 120GB HD / 2GB RAM).  With all the educational discounts I am getting it brought the price to below what I'd be paying to an equally spec'ed Dell or IBM.  Plus I do a lot of photography and while I had no problems with editing photo's on Windows, the Mac offers a few more tools and programs that aren't available on Windows.  Haven't played around with bootcamp all that much, but installing windows went smoothly enough.  So far I'd say I am pretty impressed and with all the incentives apple gives college students to buy a mac its really worth it.

I don't want to have to reboot in order to use Windows. I don't foresee any reason to use Windows though so I'm not going to bother.
