When I was at CA they issued me some Dell POS. I did the bulk of my work on my personal 17" Mac but there were certain things locked to the corporate infrastructure that I just could not get around. Hated having to carry two machines.

The day the Intel boxes release I ordered one and as soon as it showed up slapped Parralells on it.

Migrated my Dell to it, stuck the Dell in a drawer and never looked back.

IT never picked up on it.
