Well, other than price that is. If you get an intel based Macbook you can download a nifty little utility from Apple called Boot Camp which allows you to set up a dual boot of windows xp / vista and linux. Apparently games play nice and fast as well.... So now you have the sexyness of apple hardware, the sexyness of OS/X and all the apple apps, and all your normal windows apps as well, plus the availability of Vista when it ships in 200?.
Pretty much it. If I can run games like Civ 4 on the Mac, I'll have absolutely no reason to own a Windows box.
