Could you port all your existing PC apps over to a small form factor PC tomorrow if you bought one? I had a look at that site and it made about as much sense as the Labour economic policy so I don't know. But MiniMac is easypeasy for a Mac user to switch to - same OS, same apps, same peripherals. It's even easy for most PC users to switch - different OS, some of the same apps, mostly the same peripherals (dunno how printers and scanners would port over but most newish peripherals will work with both). I do appreciate, however, that you've bought a bunch of software than you couldn't easily run on OSX - Virtual PC not really being a genuine solution to the problem, at this juncture anyway. But the real bottom line here is that you don't want to switch, which is a fair enough position for you take considering your investment in PC software. But let's call a spade a spade. MiniMacs are better than a small-form PC in terms of design, value for money (headless computer for $500 is pretty damn good value for money!) and usability; OSX is more stable, more secure and in many ways easier to use than Windows (XP or otherwise); and Apple's hardwear is generally more reliable than PCs precisely because it is manufactured by one company with a reputation to think of and PCs can be made badly from poor components by any old person. Excusing crap PCs en masse because they're not all made by IBM or Dell doesn't really wash, in my book anyway. Macs aren't perfect, but they're a lot less imperfect than PCs. And, for many people, they are more practical too. What can be more practical than doing what you need to do with ease and enjoyment?
