It works like this: Dump the idea of ever buying another virus infected, spyware ridden PC again, buy an iMac G5 and a copy of Move2Mac, plug in and enjoy a better computer!
No, not really. The windows source code has been mutilated and expanded upon to the point where now it's millions of lines of spagetti code. I think it's taking so long to develop due to poor code documentation, imiagine all the MS programmers digging through millions of lines of code trying to find the source for the start button. Windows has not been built from the ground up since NT, and that was only with help from Big Blue.
I'm looking forward to Tiger, mainly because I think Apple just has better programmers and they produce a better product than the competition. It's BSD base is open to the public for scrutiny, and has thirty years of development behind it, lending to secure code maturity.
If your headless machines are running *NIX you can enable the console port to be the default terminal. I run several OpenBSD machines this way, and with 3.6 the OpenBSD guys even made it an option on the install. It's not too difficult to do, (edit the/etc/ttys file) and it comes in very handy. Then all you have to do is fire up minicom ( or hyperterminal... ugg) and your there.
KVM over IP is also a very good idea, until the network goes down.
