But the fact remains.. The current Mac ad campaign is going after Microsoft's OS', and is doing so by saying "look at our eye-candy OS that doesn't do all that bad, nasty stuff that those evil doers at Microsoft do, but you have to buy our hardware in order to get that."

I've got an XPS1210 that runs beautifully, and is just over a year old now.

For me to switch to Vista: $299.99 - $499.99 (probably $299.99)
For me to use ubuntu: Free
For me to switch to OS X: $1,614.00 (at minimum, not including taxes, and this system doesn't match my current)

Per ubuntu:
In my latest ubuntu update I found that my nVidia drivers finally got fixed! If I was using those drivers then my computer would lock up if I tried suspend or hibernate. But it's so worth it for Beryl!

I wish I could get Office 2007 on ubuntu, after that I wouldn't really need anything from Windows at home.

You just compared the price of getting a new OS to the price of getting a new computer...

Seems a bit flawed, no?
