Thumbs up Microsoft gave me $200 to buy a Macbook!!

How is this for Irony?

Microsoft is trying to build traffic to their Live.com search engine by giving 25% referral fees (up to $200) to users of their site. So I found a new Macbook for sale on Ebay, used the Microsoft Referral fee plus another $100 from a Paypal 10% off coupon (up to $100) to get a Macbook for $300+ off of retail (no taxes and free shipping). Sweet deal!!

Now I am debating whether or not to keep the Mac Microsoft free.

The Macbook is actually for the SO, but I will be here asking questions. First one is, what do I need to edit MPEG-4 movies from a Sony HandyCam? I tried on a friend's Macbook, but it was giving me codec issues.
