Actually, there are a lot of us who use multiple OSes for all of our computer studies. Nothing wrong with that
Anyways, what I would say is that while the 12" is a nice deal (decent display and everything), the only problem I have with it is that Apple doesn't give you the option to go with Super Drive (DVD+-RW/CD-RW) like they do with the 14".
Expect some decent software to come with the iBook. While it is somewhat basic stuff, it's really useful for many school and home projects (making movies, music, etc). Assuming they don't change anything with the iBook when the Intel processors come into play, one the best/coolest features with teh iBook is the fact that the casing is made of polycarbonate plastic (as in the same material used to make bulletproof glass) and has an internal magnesium frame for extra protection against dents, cracks, and even bullet holes ;D (all that info directly from the Apple site).
As far as waiting for the Intel processors, I do have mixed feelings about this idea. While there is a chance that there would be a price drop in the notebooks seeing that Intel is so common in many computers, there is also a chance that there would be a price increase assuming they make the Intel Processors proprietary (sp?).
