Hi. You can run windows natively on a desktop without a problem. So, if you have a dual boot machine, you can have a mac OS X partition, and a windows partition.
I really can't think of much that you can't do on a mac now. as far as music production, you have garage band and pro tools as the two main options currently. The main drawback with pt right now is the fact that the event list editor is not accessible. Macs are built very well, now have thunderbolt, and windows runs very smoothly on a Mac. Regarding the desk space issue, a mac book pro or an I mac would solve that. For audio work, you really want two hard drives; a system drive and an audio/storage drive. You can use the thunderbolt port to connect an additional drive or drives, with or without using a raid configuration. Also, you can get the I mac with two hard drives now. A solid state hd and a 7200rpm hd. that would work fine. Good luck, Cameron.
