Mac Pro - $10K? I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard some time back that some developers had bought MacBook Pro for its hardware, removed the Apple OS and installed Windows 7. Apocryphal?
I know a 14yo who uses his mother’s desktop Mac (one of those things that has everthing behind its screen) with Parallels – it performed well enough for the commercial Windows games he’s allowed to have, but it took a bit of stuffing about with DVD drivers as I recall.

Apple have a thing called BootCamp that dual boots into Windows, loads all the right drivers and so on.
