'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th

Kildjean writes "Engadget reports that Apple has issued invitations for a special media event to be held next Wednesday, October 20th at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The invitation for the event, which is to be held at the company's campus in Cupertino, California, carries the tagline 'Back to the Mac.' The invitation also contains an image of what appears to be a lion peeking out from behind the Apple logo, hinting at discussion of Mac OS X 10.7. 'Lion' has been one of the most commonly-suggested 'big cat' names for the next-generation operating system. Much of Apple's notebook line with the exception of the entry-level MacBook is due for a refresh, and Apple has refreshed at least a portion of its notebook line each October or November for the last several years. Apple's desktop offerings have all been updated relatively recently, suggesting that the company's media event may focus on notebooks if new hardware is included on the agenda."

I would be excited if there was a way to run 10.7 on my current specs on my machine instead of having to drop 2000-3000 on an apple. Yes, I understand why it is done that way normally. You can see this as a troll post, but I am being honest, not trolling. I would be more than happy to switch to OSX if they worked out compatibility so that I can do what I do with *nix or windows and just install that on my main pc. 2000-3000 would get me an awesome upgrade on my current system that would blow a mac out of the water (unless I put OSX on there, than that would be cool). When it comes to new versions of OSX, that is the #1 main reason why I am never interested in those releases, but always interested in new Ubuntu or Windows versions that come out

The MacMini ($700+) or iMac ($1200+) do not cost $2000-3000. As for the rest of your post, you realize you can run OS X on your current PC via virtualization right? VirtualBox is one such software that allows you to do this.
