What software do you use at the office that you would need/want to use at home? Most M$ software has the same file format Windoze/ vs Mac, and if not just boot in XP.

Boot Camp baby! You can boot in any OS you like.
Game emulators have never worked well. Apples have decent power but playing a newer PC game with Boot Camp will suck ass.

Office transportability is much better now. Not 100% but very good.

Good components, well built PCs. Hard to beat without putting one together yourself.

There is a big difference between an emulator and a virtual machine. VM's are tha bomb!

In this case it's just dual booting though. I've been doing that with Windows and Linux for over 10 years now!
