Over on the other list I hang out on, Tony is clearly enjoying his Mac
Mini and confessing he quite 'likes it'. Heady praise from a PC user!
He's a web developer and wanted one for compatibility testing.

I should add there was a minor upset when he plugged in his PC
keyboard and got <"> when he tried to type "@" but I sorted that with
a keyboard layout I found on versiontracker.com.

I have to say though - why didn't Apple think through that issue? How
much trouble would it have taken to build into the initial setup a
choice for PC keyboard and have a key layout ready to go in System
Preferences? After all, they've been pushing that as a selling point.
