On the other hand, Parallels, while still quite young, has a huge demand and is constantly improving.
That scenario might change though. I'm not completely ruling out the opportunity for a wide audience to run Mac OS on their PC ... Just not in the very near mean time.
I know I know.. Moto aren't the only ones that had manufactured and engineered hardware for Apples. I'm no Apple expert.

My boyfriend has the G5, but I'm not so much into wires, so I went with the G7. Besides, the battery is pretty much the perfect weight. And like you said, being able to adjust pointer speed on the mouse kind of makes the weights seem a bit redundant.

Vista has been running smoothly in Parallels. I have 1.5G of RAM dedicated to each OS, when Parallels is running, and no lag or any crashes. Vista is definitely a lot more stable than it's predecessor.
I basically use Vista for Office 2007 (Word, Excel and Outlook), and OS X for everything else (AIM, iTunes, Bridge/Photoshop, Safari). For me, it's a really good compromise between the two worlds.

I do A LOT of e-mail, and Excel (less Word now that I've graduated, but that may change in the near future), and Office for Mac is just clunky and awkward.
I also do A LOT of web-browsing, listening to music and image editing as well.
To many, it may be defined as a gaming mouse, simply because it is consists of how precisely engineered it is and it can take in some abuse (never overused as a motto?).
I feel ya on the lack of word usage. It pretty much becomes pointless once you graduate.
But to bag on you some more...
You (or your parents) essentially overpaid for a computer to do the same thing I do on a daily basis, but on a mac. I run Office 2007 flawlessly on WinXP.

I run Office 2007 flawlessly on WinXP.You're forgetting that I prefer Mac OS to Windows, and that I also use my computer to do a good amount of image editing as well. Sure, I can run Office 07 on WinXP, but who the hell wants to run XP if they have a choice?
Carrera GT or Impreza WRX? They both can take you from point A to B. They both can go on track. They both can be really fast. Carrera might be a bit more superior, hehe. The bottom line is choice and preference.



Good stuff!
