There are new MacBook Airs too: http://www.apple.com/macbookair/ (With a currently somewhat broken webpage.) And new Mac Minis (Whose pages are also currently broken...)
I have been a Windows user since I started using computers. I am thinking of purchasing a Macbook Air. As a young programmer (going into fifth year of college), would anyone recommend this laptop?

As far as i recall, Snow Leopard was unlimited installs, that or i did toss in the extra 10-20$ for unlimited installs, i don't recall exactly (i do definitely recall buying a family pack for Leopard). Regardless, where is that option now? Edit: what the hell? -1 for saying that i prefer the family pack?
> As far as i recall, Snow Leopard was unlimited installs The license was for a single machine. If you wanted to install it on multiple machine, you were supposed to get a family pack (5 machines). Lion is single-user (since it's tied to an iTunes Store account), and up to 5 machines at the same time (all machines on which the account is active).
I'm a bit bummed out that i have to either buy multiple copies of the upgrade, or figure out how to enable my account across my wife's machine and the other machines i have. :( I was quite liking the unrestricted installs for 30$
Would burning it to a DVD and doing a clean install still require Apple accounts? I hope not. http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desk...

Word of warning just by chance my OSX hard disk was corrupted today. Luckily I had my Snow Leopard OSX disk so that I could use the disk utility to check what the problem was and attempt a repair. I had to reformat but it has made me think that keeping the disk around would be a good idea.
I suspect that Apple would suggest that that was what Time Machine was for. But physical media is still nice. Supposedly you'll be able to buy a USB install for $69 next month.
You're right. They're destroying people's information to make a few hundred dollars. Do you distill rain water because of the fluoride as well?
Things break, it's unfortunate.

I wish they would add the backlit keyboards in some manner to the Airs
