Use Apple Iron
If you?re in the market to purchase a new system anyway, instead of purchasing another ugly box from HP or Dell, I'd suggest buying an Intel Mac and run Vista under Bootcamp. This way you'll have a very nice UNIX based OS with OS X with all the very nice software Apple bundles with their Macs and at the same time dabble around with Vista while Microsoft works to get the bugs out with the initial release (which we all know will be many). I?m sure Apple?s hardware will be more than adequate to handle the high performance demands Vista will require. A recent study has proven Macs are no more expensive than the wares offered by other OEM's. Besides, you?re getting two computers for the price of one.

We're not talking emulation here either. Both OS X and Vista will both run native on Apple iron. The very best of both worlds you have to admit.
