Josh, I totally agree.
I bought myself a IBM Thinkpad T21 with a 3 yr warranty (onsite support) for
$1400 brand new from IBM. Weights in at 6.2 lbs and has a sturdy titanium
casing that has pleasantly suprised me a few times.
My software development tools are as such:
Interdev (ok, i hate it, but it does the MS crap as well as html)
TortoiseCVS to connect seamlessly to the CVS rep on my BSD server
(http://www.tortoisecvs.org)
PHP Triad to do local webtesting and dev using PHP/MySQL/Apache
Outlook to connect to my Exchange Server
A host of SSH apps to do transfer and shells
SourceSafe (like CVS, but runs faster locally and is better for 1 person
projects)
And all of the other things like Flash as well.
Now, why would I want to pay the Apple markup? In addition, you have a much
wider range of software and peripherals available to you.
But it goes back to the main issue: 95% of the market is on a windows
client. You are designing/developing for that market. Use the device they
are on or as close as you can get to it.
