When it comes to using computers, it used to be (and still rings true today) that most people find the Mac platform to be either loathsome or lovable with few spectators taking middle ground on the issue.

My current PC is an AMD 1800+, geforce2 and a 19inch monitor.
It does everything I really need. Nowadays, I find that I browsing the web less and do less on my PC because i've been everywhere, used everything. Nothing really supprises me or worth the effort unless its earning me money or making my life easier.
So, there is no reason I can see, baring Doom3 being such an amazingly addictive game (which i doubt; War3 was good, but now i'm over that) that i'll be upgrading my wintel machine. Windows 2000 was MS's best operating system, and they're effectively killing it off to a subscription model.
They realise that they're at a position in which they can produce an OS that could stand for 10 years... and no sales.
So... All I need now is a laptop... When I think laptop, I want ease of use and effectively, a macosx tibook. Regrettably, that'll be a year or two before I recon I'll need one enough. (I'm thinking jetski first).
Hardware and software cycles will have progressed further.
Its my opinion that while everyone considers Jaguar to be the mature Macosx, I think the next 2 years will be the most impressive years to come.
Jaguar marks the end of the OS's early stage and technology is aligning to my purchasing preferences.
