Currently one of those Intel based Macs is favourite for becoming
my next desktop pc. Unfortunately there have been problems
with Windows on Mac Pro machines and I am not sure if the
latest boot camp update fixes all problems. Apple provides
drivers for its hardware, but main target still remains Mac OS X,
and you might have to wait some time while problems with
windows based pcs are unlikely.
If you want to use certain hardware, you should also consider
problems due to incompatible hardware interfaces or missing
drivers.

There have been mails with topic "BlackBox on Linux (using Wine)"
in September. Since Bernhard Treutwein states that BlackBox runs
nice under Wine it should run under Mac OS X, too. Wine is reported
to work under Mac OS X. It probably requires usage of X windows,
which is probably not as nice as Macs native UI. Apropos UI: as opposed
to native software ported software frequently requires inconvenient
keystrokes or an external multi button mouse (which also works well
with Mac OS X).
Greetings,
Marco
