OSX is a Unix OS. But the change in Macs is the CPU which is now Intel. Windows needs
the Intel CPU.

Free up some partition space and you can run dual boot with another OS. You might like
Linux. Especially the fact that the software is free and there is so much of it.

What Paul said. I have running on a mixture of intel and ppc Macs at
any given time, OSX 10.5.5 on either machine, using either Parallels
or VMware WINXP or various flavors of linux Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo or
Yellowdog. I dual boot Ubuntu and OSX on my TiPowerbook. I threw away
Microsoft products because there is now literally every I need in the
open source arena. Open Office or Neo Office is a full featured office
suite that should satisfy all but the most demanding Excel macro
heads. Crossover office is improving such that many Windows
applications will run without Windows.
And to upgrade to a major revision of OSX it has never cost me more
than $129 and Safari etc have worked just fine as the upgrades have
taken place.
My point is that in all of this over the years I have never had an
issue with virus's, trojan horses or other malware on these two
machines or any other Mac in my extended family yet I have spent an
inordinate amount of time fixing issues in the Windows pcs others in
my family and friends circle own!
Ultimately as with what we fly or build it is about choice!

I agree there are lots of options on software and operating systems, but the
Mac was purchased for video editing primarily and I doubt there is freeware
that can compet with Final Cut Pro, Avid or Adobe Premier Pro. If there is
I want to hear it.

The software you mention is all first rate, for sure. I've not used Final Cut or Avid
but I've used the Adobe Suite in Windows. In Linux with Gnome, I think Gimp is pretty
good for image manipulation. I'm currently looking into something that will do Vector
Graphics like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator but for Linux. Found Inkscape, has
fairly good reviews. As for Linux paint programs, there are Gogh and MyPaint. Both are
still a bit primitive but look promising.

Lowell, There are several that work as almost as well to just as well
and range from free to commercial (did you know that a good many of
the great animated movies over the last several years were done either
entirely with Linux or a mixture of Linux and OSX?) : MainConcept,
Kino and Cinelerra are the best consumer video editing tools that I'm
aware of.
There are over 20+ thousand applications to choose from in Linux not
all are in active development but those that are.... And one of the
best thing about it is the immediate response if you have a problem or
need some help. Forums such as this one are common in the Linux world
and the people are generally just as helpful!
Check 'em out they may not suit your needs as well as the expensive
proprietary ones you use but maybe...
