That's just it. I'm talking the latest OS and brand new software. Not antiquated.
The ability to
effectively run recent software is IMHO the single most important aspect of a computer's usability.
I can easily run the latest version of NeoOffice on my 7 year old 450 MHz PowerMac with the latest update of OS X installed. Try running Office 2007 and Vista on a 450 MHz Pentium and let me know how it works out for you.
Further, the Windows OS itself is outdated, before it';s even released. Vista just now picks up a lot of the features of OS X, 6 years after OS X was first released.
