Sorry dude! But I just checked out your XPS 8000 and YOU'RE wrong. It was over 1K! And you don't get a lowly 5770.... you get a super awesome nVidia 240! :-/ sarcasm You also get all those awesome PROPRIETARY parts! But hey, it comes with 15 months of McAfee. It also comes with the usual CRAPWARE too. Now THAT'S a MAXIMUM PC!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO! (You said go ahead and flame you.) XD

As an owner of an EFI-X rig. I will say this. My machine is FASTER than a Mac with similar specs, easier to upgrade than a Mac & cost WAY less than a similar equipped Mac. Apple won't "brick" these units because they don't care. They are still selling you a copy of OS X. Plus the install base for this device is for people who like to tinker with hardware, not every Tom, Dick & Harry on the block. Most people just buy an Apple Mac because they want the warm, fuzzy feeling of Justin Long's Kool-Aid going down their throats. They are either too lazy, or too stupid to learn how to use Windows properly. I currently run OS X and Vista on my EFI-X rig, and I really like being able to choose my OS without having to pay the "Mac Tax".  Oh, and another thing. To they guy who said "just buy a low end Mac for $699 or a nice new Mac laptop for $999", show me where to buy a dual core, Intel Mac running Leopard with descrete graphics, 4GB RAM & a 22" LCD for that price... Just food for thought.

Has anyone noticed that in ALL of the Microsoft "Laptop Hunters" commercials EVERYONE buys an HP? No Lenovo, Sony, Toshiba,... etc. COME ON!! This only makes it look like nobody else builds affordable laptops and that Microsoft is in bed with HP and in my book seriously hurts their credibility.
