Shut up and get married already! :-) Not owning a mac I can't really comment, but I have a feeling it will be a bit restrictive in the foss dept.

For heavy photo processing and design work, a Mac is obviously the better choice. But a Windows platform gives you much more software, especially when it comes to blogs and complimentory services. P2P is also much simpler and better supported on a Windows platform. Forget Linux. Nice OS, but when you want high mobility it's a pain. Remember that if you intend to travel a lot, your notebook becomes another limb and then you don't want to sit and suffer with incompatibilities between systems. Also, only go Linux if you know Linux; it's not an intuitive OS an gets in the way of general (not IT) workflow. Ideally, though, the Mac is probably best. But check its battery life; apparently the Intel chip is a bit more power hungry. Btw, Asus and HP have some great notebooks as well. It depends on what you need to do.
