Not to mention iTunes is bloated in every sense of the word. I'm sorry I don't need my media player taking up over 80 megs of ram.

That's the problem. Mac apps are all good but there is always one or two things that they can't do that a PC app can. Not to mention that the developer community for mac apps is way smaller. There just isn't as much to choose from and most of it isn't freeware. Just check out the difference between PC and Mac apps on sourceforge. It's really a non-starter.

OSX is also very clunkey and just as inoperable if not more inoperable than XP with 512 ram. I've used it alot and it seems that cosmetics over rule efficiency in OSX. Now with that said I'm running an extremely stripped down version of XP Pro. How am I doing that? Because the developer community is so large for XP that some hacker reduced XP Pro down to a 500 meg install. You just don't find that with OS X.
