Big OSX fan, but I'm without a mac
cocoamix:
I think the OS is the very center of someone's computing experience, moreso than the hardware. I can deal with a slower speed, as long as I can use OS X.
Anyway, until OS X is ported to Intel/AMD hardware, it's a moot point. I'm sure Apple is working on it. The consensus across the board is that Mac has superior software and OS, but the hardware needs to catch up or get cheaper before they'll switch in droves.
NEW Apple hardware is no doubt very expensive, but you can buy a used rig for just a few hundred that can run OS X well enough for you to get used to it, or run a server.
My main Mac is 4 years old, and it runs great.
I'm putting off buying a new system until the IBM 970's come out.

Well, either there are high prices or there is no Apple. I don't prefer the latter.
Faust:
Some evidence please Macman?

Same here, OS Fan, dislike the PPC Hardware. Apple has already ported OSX to x86 and updates it every update they release for PPC. Although the X86 OSX doesn't support Carbon (which isn't necissarily a bad thing) but it means right now very few "big company" programs would run on the x86 version.
