No, i meant something that is a little bit more open and friendly to all 'nix distro's. The Mac appears to be apple friendly only, as in you need to have Apple's software on it to be able to upgrade the firmware, and other issues such as BIOS requirements and non-compatability with total ELI booting such that your graphics drivers wont load properly.
However thats verging off topic a little too much. Similar in theory to the Mac I suppose but not similar in practice where it still requires the hardware manufacturers OS to run it properly.
But back to the original point i do have a question, why bother putting Windows on your PC at all? Then you dont have to worry about dual booting.
