If you're talking about going to a Mac platform, you can price what you want through their website. To do what you want for your pc/.NET stuff (I assume you're talking Visual Studio/VB.NET?), you'll need to purchase a copy of Windows separately. If you run it only under BootCamp which comes free with the Mac, you'll need to spend only about $145 (e.g., http://www.royaldiscount.com/miwixpprofuv.html ) for an OEM copy. Notice these don't always work well with Parallels or VMFusion (running both OSs simultaneously rather than booting into one only). For that you'll need a "retail" copy ( http://www.royaldiscount.com/miwixpprosp2.html ) which is about $225. You could probably fish around for better prices. Remember you'll need to purchase Parallels or VMFusion in addition (about $80). You can also go Vista. Also, if you're planning on running both simultaneously, seriously consider going 4 GB of RAM rather than 2. Think about starting out with just the free BootCamp as you can always purchase something like Parallels/VM later if you want. What you get for this is the ability to do both Windows .NET and Xcoding in native settings without emulation or virtualization...essentially two machines in one.
