Yeah, I'm the same way
I think Apple hardware is ok, but not thrilled with the OS under the hood. Just doesn't have the all around productivity driving software titles. Doesn't have the killer programming environment Windows is famous for etc.

I was working with a Vista ultimate machine the other day. The owner wanted to run a niche healthcare application. It would not run natively under Vista, much we here about that, but they have not yet released their Vista compatible version. Not sure why, it's not like they didn't have time.

Anyway, it was a snap to tell it to run in XP compatibility mode....so I'm not sure why all the griping. Even Apple had to rely on a compatibility mode, and still does right?...after they pulled the rug out and completely changed their OS over to BSD. What's the big deal?

Anyway, I've ben very happy with Toshiba and the HPs main site is using now are fine. Very nice machines.
