And i'll install osx on your 12 core havoc, and it will soundly trounce windows doing any computationally heavy tasks involving frame rendering or encoding. Its just a fact.

And where are you going to get the drivers to install OSX on the HP? Apple? Enjoy your 8 core sucka!

OSX has been installed on PC hardware reliably for a few years now. Now a days you can take an off the shelf copy of Snow Leopard, install it on about 75% of PC hardware with an EFI simulator and have a 100% working Mac. I've done it for years.
PS: I also own a MBP

In my experience, home brewed software like emulators and front ends for emulators are rarely 'User Friendly' since they assume a certian level of technical skill is posessed by the user of the emulator. So the platform that the emulator is run on is thusly irrelevant unless you're looking at an emulator as a consumer product which would be streamlined for the end user, but these emulations also often lack the tweaks and features that a hobbiest would want. :P

And there's no performance hit with the simulator? If you say no, you're lying. So then we're still back to my original statement: HP\Windows is the top dog now. MBP has been left in the dust.

The simulator has no performance hit.
The EFI simulator comes only in during boot time. After booting, the speed is perfect comparable to a similar equiped real mac. It's even easier to make a faster than real mac, as the videocards in Macs are seriously bad by default.

Interesting - just read up on that. However, it's not legal. So, the business community, which would be the people that would pay this kind of money for that performance, wouldn't do it. Or at least, shouldn't.
