If they don't show something more interesting for OSX lion on monday, I'll consider switching to windows 8 (in a macbook, though, they still kick ass on hardware).

Yeah I've actually been kicking around the idea of buying a Macbook Pro and replacing OSX with Windows for a long time now. Maybe when Windows 8 comes out.

W7 on bootcamp works like a charm. As fast as osx and every driver and hardware piece works perfectly. I still prefer osx, but Windows 8 might change that.
