Rubbish in real terms unless you dual-boot windows. Same as WINE and the countless alternatives on Linux; everybody sings their praises but in real life they run very little windows software *properly*
Quad core processors and a healthy amount of ram are not slow no matter what OS you throw at them.
I'm no more a PC freak than Arien is a Mac fan boy, but let's be realistic: That PC has one hell of a specification for 700 Euros no matter which way you look at it!

My laptop is probably the kind of thing you sound like you need.
It's a AMD Athlon X2 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD and a GeForce 7150M.
It cost me £280 in September and it's been lightning quick ever since then.
Internet Explorer loads (with 4 tabbed home pages) right away, as do most other programs. It'll play certain games very well too if you ever needed it to.
So you see, unlike crapple-mac's, PC's can be efficient AND cheap.
Oh yeah, and the best bit? It runs Windows Vista Home Premium perfectly, like a dream, no problems at all, so ner

Nowadays, not all that different really. From the user's perspective, anyway.
I found this in my bookmarks:

It's a bit out of date, but the differences it mentions are still largely there AFAIK.

Yeah, it is out of date. But the majority of the basic differences in functionality it mentions apply to Vista and Leopard too.

i don't mean legally, i meant technically its not possible. u cant install a non-cracked version of mac on a PC and i wonder why? what does a mac recognize as 'alien' , since it shares the same platform as the windows PC

It's the chipset I think? Correct me if I'm wrong, but macs use a variety of custom-built motherboards don't they?
