Microsoft is going to make a buttload of OS licensing money off of this, on Russia, China, and other countries upgrading.

Just switched to the MacBook Pro 13" here at work. Still getting used to it.

My son just got one of those and he loves it. The rest of us are still using Windows machines, but those days are numbered.

Microsoft released Visual Studio on mac a couple months ago. I can't wrap my head around developing on a Mac for Windows, or even server stuff. It's all running together now, it really doesn't matter what you run on.

This is probably easily answered, and I've never tried this, but can you virtualize a Mac workstation in VMWare? i.e. run a VDI solution using Mac workstations but on regular server/storage hardware? I'm sure you can, just don't feel like looking it up.

I mostly work in PPT and email these days so the learning curve hasn't been too bad. The toughest thing to learn has been short cut keys and tabbing between applications.

My son is jumped full into coding this year in his freshman technology class. I told him he should at least get familiar with the Mac so he could be more "fungible". He won't even consider it.

You could partition a mac drive on same machine and remote to it, but it's still a functional machine. I haven't had a virtual Mac running on my Windows yet at all. I have a Windows laptop, a mac mini, an iPad mini, and a droid phone on my desk right now... :/
