While I certainly agree, the stopgap I've employed is a Mac with  
VMware (fusion beta). Solaris in full screen mode looks quite lovely  
on it (and one gets very bizarre looks from the Macerati who look  
over my shoulder).

I limp along with 2GB, but it does work better with 4GB. The newest  
units are 4GB capable.

At least there's no obvious windows virus paths in my day to day usage.
