More and more, the architecture of PC and Macs are intermingling. Pretty soon the basic hardware choice will just be which processor you get.
When that happens, I'll stick a Mac OS on a special partition.
However, I won't just "go mac" because of two reasons. One, I actually know what I'm doing and thus I can get all the performance I can out of my PC. If I can get my PC to do whatever I need it to, I have no reason to spend a few thousand dollars on a "new look". Secondly, game support. Most games are made for the PC, and I play a lot of PC games.
And yes, single button mice are idiotic. Not nearly as much as the excuse Apple uses to justify their lack of 3 button mice and a wheel, but still pretty stupid.

And now they apparently have this. I'm actually impressed. I wonder how well it will actually perform?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
