Be warned, I've had several friends purchase a mac to play around with it who only end up using it exclusively (except for games).
[i]Should I wait to buy one until the Mac X Leopard version is released?[/i] No. Mac OS X still blows Vista away in terms of UI and stability. Altho Vista is a big improvement over XP.
[i]Is it true that it will be dual bootable (running Mac X and Win XP)?[/i] Yes, there are two popular mac software titles that make dual booting a breeze although you will still need a licensed copy of XP (cough cough).
[i]How does that work? Do I choose which I want to boot up with?[/i] Yes, or you can have your XP running in a virtual desktop.
[i]If that is true, would I be able to upgrade to the Windows Vista (which is 64 bit processing)? I haven't been planning on upgrading my PCs, mostly because I utterly loathe the new Vista, but will the MacBook be overall more happy if I have two OS's that run the same bit rate?[/i] No clue.
[i]How the Hels am I suppose to make it play nice with my PC based home network?[/i] Setting up a mac on a windows network is easier than setting up a windows PC on a windows network. I shite you not.
