Who's switching
I think you missed the point.

What differnce does it make if I run Windows XP on a DELL box, HP, E-maching, Sony, IBM, or what ever. It's still running Windows. So if I buy a Mac Mini for these feature and I install Windows on it I'm still using Windows and not switching. I just get best of both worlds.
