I've wanted to switch for 2 years now. I own an ipod, my sister too, my dad also.
I spend 10 hours a month removing virii and adware from their windows laptops (I refuse to spend more time).
I crave Apple's design, but 1300 USD just to "play around" was a bit steep.
The only thing that was stopping me from buying a Mac was price, and the fact that I still play some games sometime (so I can't ditch my PC straight away).
If Apple makes this baby, I will buy one, I'll buy one for my sister, one for my mother and I'll convince 3 friends (minimum) to buy one for themselves and their wives. Easily.
That's 3000 USD next year on top of the 1000 or so I spent on iPods in 2004 and another 500 I'll spend buying a new iPod in 2005. And I know tons of people around me who are just "turned off" by computers and would welcome a Mac.
Now Gimme Gimme Gimme.
