That's what we're doing here. We've managed to negotiate some better pricing to reduce the "Apple tax," making the iMacs' pricing closer to that of our Dells. We then run Vista on them, which works fine.
PC manufacturers are still clueless. They're trying to learn from Apple, but are still way behind.

If I have the budget I would buy everyone an iMac and run Vista. I wish PC vendors start making one piece unit like Apple. Too many damn wires man! (Speaker wires, AC adapters, video adapters, mouse wires, KB wires) How about start incorporating wireless NIC into desktop systems? Have you all seen the size of the AC adapter on Dell machines? They are almost as large as the small form factor unit. ALL built-in speakers are worth sh1t on PC vendors(IBM/DELL). Music sounds like midi files coming from these built-in speakers. -Z.V. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
