That's probably my favorite "bonus" right now. It's great to have a fully functional development server on a laptop when I need one.

One thing I can add is that I've been a Mac user since the 1984 Superbowl commercial, and while I've helped a ton of people switch to the Mac platform, I don't personally know anyone who's done more than add a Windows machine for compatability testing needs.

I'm not saying no one switches the other way. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) I'm just saying I don't personally know any.
