I'm intrigued by the new intel-based iMacs and the "2x faster than the last version for the same price claims." But I wonder if I would be better off waiting on that purchase for a bit. I assume that there is some subset of mac software that won't run on these machines yet, and that seems like a good reason to wait. But only if that assumption is accurate. To tell the truth I've been thinking about buying a mac for about two years now, and I suspect I'll still be thinking about it in another year or two. But if you have any opinions on any of this, please let me know.

I'd suggest you do what I'm planning on doing - waiting for the second generation of them to come out. I have a first generation of the last model powerbook, and it has some flaws that were worked out in subsequent updates. And with a new processor it seems like it will make even more sense.
Plus, it looks like Vista will be much more runable on these than XP is due to EFI.
Or buy one and let me know how it is, because I'm totally lusting after them.
