I still fail to see how buying a Mac locks you into Apple. It is my understanding you can run pretty much any x86 OS out there. It is also possible to install and run many of the thousands of UNIX programs out there. Not to mention it has been my experience that the equivalent software between Windows and Macs is usually cheaper on the Mac side.
The only real downside of buying a Mac seems to be cost. And I would bet IBM can get them cheaper than you or I can. :-)
