    is it forbidden to talk about windows native mbp's in this section ?

    if i were to buy one i'd prolly scrap os X alltogether and set up a dual boot win7/ubuntu configuration.

    anyone done this ? experiences, comments welcome ....

    It's possible, but you'll have to go through some hacking to totally get rid of the OS X partition and get Windows/Ubuntu in the mix.

    You will be better served with the HP Envy instead.

    There are countless threads on this already. If you're not buying a Mac for OSX then you're going to be better served by buying a proper Windows machine. Period.
