The first point is incorrect, you can still buy ME, just not for much longer. Also, in the busniss world, there are still a very large number of machines running NT versions from before 2000. I would also not call Win2k and XP "the OS of choice". Microsoft would like nothing better for there to be
no choice of OS's besides Windows. Calling Win2k and XP the OS of no-choice would be more accurate.

And the reason I say the only reason you should get a mac for graphics is because that's what they do... they can't handle complex computations like PC's can. The only thing they do better then a PC is graphic manipulation, and PC's are very quickly catching up.

This is also incorrect. The reason macs excell at graphical applications is because they do the complex computations better then a pc can. The major reason that Mac's are not a good choice for other things is lack of
software support, not the hardware. It is similar to the reason I don't run Linux on my main computer, there is not the software support for it.
