I get my fast Windows desktop/ business apps from PS via ICA on a Mac. I run
Parallels with XP as needed and then I boot into that same XP natively to run
intensive audio and video apps for fun.
I just like the Mac as a desktop and the 24" iMac is just a great size and
screen to have on your desk. I can boot it to Windows for general use
but after a while I always miss the Mac OS "feel".
I use a standard wireless keyboard and two button wireless mouse so there is no
mouse envy there
Keep in mind that I was a NeXTSTEP user going back to the Winview and Winframe
days so I have been doing this a long time. I naturally switch modifier keys
between CNTRL and COMMAND so it is easy to cut and paste and navigate between
platforms.. Also I avoided Mac OS thru 9, that was crap. When NeXTSTEP became
Mac I was back in!

better yet, the fastest desktop OS is actually Windows Server 2008. just
install that, turn on Themes (if you like that type of stuff) and away you go..
No need for a Mac or a PC..
Also, if people think a Mac does not crash then think again, mine crashes all
the time.. it is just like Windows. Windows is stable until you install
non-Microsoft apps.. ;) Same with the Mac!! :)

I guess it's time to switch to a Mac.
