No more P3/600 for you

After 7.5 years, I will have a new computer. I had to make a decision... would I buy PC hardware to keep running Windows, and thus invest a sizable portion of my expenditures in running (eventually) Vista, which is well known to be an abomination?

I concluded that doing so would be to throw money away. Thus, my answer to that was to get a Mac, which will mean using roughly the same hardware to run a serious operating system built on serious foundations instead. Even better: the OS is written in Objective-C. What could be wrong with that? :)
