I went out and bought a replacement windows machine on Saturday. Its an HP Pavilion m8000 series machine with a Quad Core processor, 3gb of Ram, etc. etc. etc. Many of you know me as a rabid mac fanatic, but the reality is that I am a multi-platform type of guy. I prefer Mac, but I like to use whatever gets my work done quickly. I like to have a windows desktop at home because it integrates well with my work network which I access via VPN when I am working from home. Yes, I know all the bootcamp, fusion, parallels tricks...this is just better.
