Like you said, beautiful hardware.
I have one, sitting unused for the last several months. Almost all corporate desktop stuff I need to do is via rdesktop to a vmware windows instance. Linux for everything else. The only thing I needed it for was when I occasionally went on the road and needed to ssh back to my systems in an emergency. Now that I have a Blackberry with ssh, I don't even need that.
My boss was a serious Windows geek, and then got into Linux for backend and Mac for his desktop/laptop. He's gently pushing executives in my company to try the Mac, but he's in the terrible position of being the only one who really understands it. That mean the VP becomes tech support, which CANNOT happen.
