Laptop of choice for a Programmer, Need Help

Well, that's my current situation, I'm using Windows right now. (Installing Windows 7 as we speak)

However, I happen to rather like GNU tools and the unix-style shell environment (bash).

Windows doesn't offer either, and it isn't conducive to contributing my time to an open source project either.

Question: So if you get a mac, are you going to install windows on it also?

For .NET work, yes. I have to. Might do VMWare Fusion but I'd be worried about IIS or something going pissy on me about the networking when running under a virtual machine.
