If by the Apple Tax you mean not having to piss around for 3 days to get my
new digital camera to work under Windows7 when my true blue Mac Mini
recognized it right away/

YES, I will pay the Apple Tax!

As someone else already mentioned I too have VirtualBox running on my Mac
Mini and love it as both WinXP Pro and Ubuntu 10.10 runs better for me than
they ever have on a PC. Also nice to have only one computer to deal with on
my desk with 3 operating systems at my beckon call.

Probably will never buy another Windows PC unless I absolutely have to.

But don't get me wrong as I do miss some of the Windows based software that
we don't have as Mac native software, but wait ,I can run that software on
my virtual machine. . . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
