oh, and level42. that was my friends reaction too when i told him. he said 'just get a mac, and everything will just work' but i have this pc and im poorer than him ;D

Does your PC have SSE3 support on an Intel microprocessor? Then try installing OSX on that PC ;D Just search for Dr. Kalyway. He'll show you the road.

Not sure if the Celeron on my (brandnew) Dell laptop (hey it's from and for my work :( ) has SSE3 (how could I check that) but I'm gonna give that Kalyway stuff a try on it, thanks for that info...

If you like the OS more, thats one thing, but since they use the same hardware and yet cost more, the two things you can't say are that they last longer and you get more for your money. Your statement just screams fanboy.
Heres a recent article showing that buying upgrades from the Apple store can cost 3 times as much then buying the same thing from Dell.
