Thanks, that's what I needed to know, I agree about running native mac programs, late last year I used a borrowed Mac to check out Final Cut and liked a lot of what I saw, but on the other hand I didn't like the roundabout ways you have to do some things that are second nature to me using Vegas etc. plus there is a codec compatibility issue with the HDV intermediate avi I've been using for my back-up archive, so for now I'll be sticking with XP.

The deal is.. Mac's hold their value. You spend that $4k on the Mac and you can sell it in a year with maybe a 20% loss. Then you can upgrade to the next model and always be running the top model at a minimal price.
Try to spend $4k on a high end PC and even a week later you would likely be hard pressed to get $3k out of it.

This is also playing a part in my decision making process, I plan on replacing 1 PC with a Mac Pro per year for the next 4 years, I don't know if a 4 year old Mac Pro will be worth much but I'm sure it will be worth more than a 4 year old PC
