Can't decide between Mac and Windows (I do :p)? Now here's a good reason to get a Mac (provided you aren't a Windows power user or that you have a Mac powerhouse at your disposal): Virtual PC for Mac
This undoubtly secures a iBook/Powerbook on top of my computer shopping list. (although that also means that I need to secure an extra grand or two for both Virtual PC and WinXP licenses)

This is cool! But, I'll be happier if Mac OS can be run on PCs. I read about some hackers working on it few days ago. Will wait for it! :)
It is much harder to hack your way through to make MacOS run on a PC due to the difference of CPU architecture, which means that some sort of CPU emulation layer must be in place to translate the CPU instructions.
However, Steve Jobs did announce a switch to Intel CPUs in the future, and that the Mac OS X is developed for both PowerPC and Intel CPU architectures. So probably that might mean sooner or later, we'll be getting Mac OS for the PC?
Well... we'll see what happens next ;).
