Uh-oh.... Anybody following WWDC?

A bit OT but you'll see my point...

That's in theory... my 5 year old PC still runs and doesnt' need any 
updates in 
terms of server use. But as far as most of my
pc aquaintances, most of the time we just swap a cpu, swap a hard drive 
and
DONE... No need to buy a new PC. Just like old mac accelerators (but much
cheaper, much better supported too (driver and support wise). 

Last time i did this (to improve GTR's speed), the mother board cost 50$ 
and
the CPU+ram 400 more. Done... No 1000+$ hardware expenses... And i got
room for lots more drivers (compared to a minimac)...

So are you just searching for justifications or excuses to stay on the mac 
or what?

cheers
Xavier
