Vista was a sort of middle-deal thing. They weren't going to release anything until Windows 7 at first. It surprised me when what I thought was Windows 7 popped up three years earlier than I expected.

So can a non-mac system, nowadays. Though you'll still have to watch out with the kind of hardware you buy if you do that, OSX doesn't support ALL hardware after all.
Just as you said. I can't get the EFI-X or whatever it's called and install OSX on my P4 or any other funky system. As you said it requires specific hardware. Plus their Applecare is pretty damn brilliant and free for students, and if you buy at the right time you can get free iPods too.
That said Dell have been ace for me too. Accidentally damaged my 2404FWP monitor's screen in transit, rang them up to complain about it (since it had other minor problems)... Before I even got onto the display problem they said they'd replace it with the newer 2007 model.

Yea just a bit, but worst of all is that they've kept the bad effects. Hopefully they update them. Basically the menu bar needed a ceiling darkness and more blur - as Vista stands now my eyes are too drawn to the title bar if there is something black behind it. Glad they copied more of the OSX dock too, usability shoots up some
Just wonder if they're going to nix loads of features before launch again. But either way it sounds like it could be a huge improvement over Vista. And hopefully they let you disable the "ribbon" interface. To switch between 2 basic tools in the new Paint you have to click the mouse twice? How about a structured interface that brings up more detailed options as well as constantly required important options. So many design flaws.
