Pardon the bottom post Simon old LEM habits , once hard won, are hard to break. Unless Apple insists on it, it would not have to be OS X, but as I have proposed all along for months now it would be an Apple PC OS. I put an Apple sticker from my iPod on My year old HP. With the HP in the "bite". Still needs an Amiga Boingball though. Maybe someday even a penguin will be there too. I may end my standoff with that also. Serious work requires serious tools. Tools are tools, just as we agreed on older Macs There are reasons for these things Simon. Needs that go beyond OS favoritism. And as far as driver concerns go, using the same config specs that are reasonable for Vista is sufficient. Peter has already addressed these concerns too.
