Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:

#1 No virus/spyware worries.
#2 One vendor solution (OS/HW) no fingerpointing.
#3 Powerful Unix operating system, so you can run and compile custom software.

#4 Lots of powerful Unix tools.
#5 Trading software runs on it fast.
#6 No AV needed which means no I/O overhead.
#7 Lots of trader friendly features such as Spaces,Expose,etc.. and you can customize lots of keyboard functions.

#8 Workstation class hardware (Mac Pro + Apple widescreens) with ECC memory, Server class hardware to insure high reliability and security of data in memory from soft corruption.

#9 The OS gets out of your way and lets you do your work fast with no bloatware or overhead like you do with Vista etc..

#10 Powerful built in backup, Time machine which always insure you have a copy on a second drive.

#11 easy to swap drives, tool less case, rock solid operating system.

#12 OpenCL and GCD is gonna open up even more power for advanced modeling.

Just a few reasons why we swapped out to 8 mac pro workstations in 2006.

I have a three monitor setup and use ultra mon to carve up the windows inside the monitors(Vista.)

Can you configure a MAC for three monitors? Any software that helps manage them if you can?

LOL.

I guess it could be true now that you can run windows xp on it.



Note that the Anandtech article isn't so much a comparison of iMac with XPS One but a comparison of two Nvidia graphics cards for Gaming.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS vs NVIDIA GeForce 9600M

It has been noted here before that gaming and trading are a little different.
