ok so in a few months a few mates may have conroe desktops that run faster...
...but i didn't buy my mac for speed.
i bought it for os x.
i think i'm willing to give up a little speed (and really it is a little) for a great os (now there's an understatement) and a computer that will look a billion times better than any other desktops.
On the upside, you can buy a copy of Parallels, install your favorite flavor of Windows and run whichever apps you need in that environment (windowed or full screen). It's what I've been using on the iMac I'm using right now (from my office). I need it for certain apps that I just can't get on the Mac (e.g., Picasa, WriteLog for my ham radio needs, etc). Now, we can debate that Quicken should be better, but at least there are options!

If you just want to run Windows version of quicken, then you can use Crossover Mac, it officially supports Quicken.... no copy of Windows needed...
