i wish my xps played well with the o/s that it came packaged with. personally, i've had much better success with dells lower end pc's. seems they all want to fail prematurely for one reason or another anyway. can't stand their bloatware and proprietary drivers, either.

alienware used to be respectable and even sought after. then dell happened.....

but enough of my dell rant.

i don't think apples strong hold on the market is going to last forever. i think eventually their marketing hype will be questioned and the end-user will become price savvy in our down economy by necessity, not choice. if so, there should be no problems pushing apple back into the sales dungeon it's been into several times already. they're just experiencing an "up" moment currently, methinks.
