If he really wants a windows experience, install bootcamp, and install Windows on it. Than when you boot up you have an instant windows machine! I have my MacPro set up like that and it runs smooth. No issues what so ever.

You've never bought a mac apparently.
Buy a dell/HP/etc, and you have to re-install it because they put so much S*IT on there that it's unusable out of the box.
And building your own machine always results in some hassle. ALWAYS. Some driver doesn't like another piece of hardware, this or that doesn't work, etc. I've been doing this for a LONG time...
And when I need a new machine, I'll just buy a new one and sell my iMac for 50% of the price I paid for it new 3 years ago. Try that with a PC.

So I take it you think PCs are untested? Hate to break the news to you, but have you heard of Microsoft WHQL? Pretty much every PC sold through a major OEM has undergone not only internal hardware testing, but WHQL certification through Microsoft. Put together a proper machine, you don't have to "tweak" it. Put together a clusterf*ck and you'll be screwing with it for eternity. You're right. Most PCs are upgradeable |

How old are you?

Since this looks like it is turning into a Mac vs. PC thread, I'll save you all the trouble and tell you how it ends... All computers have problems, different people need different things from a computer, and different computers provide different services/problems.
The rest is totally up to you. There is no better brand, just a brand that is better for you.
Some people need Macs, and some need PCs... now what was the original question? 
(FTR: I'm a pc guy, but I use a Mac at work with no problems. It's good at what it does, and both serve me well.)
Can you give me direction on how to burn once i edit on sound studio?
Having recently switched to a new MPB after years of Dells (and before that a Performa 6115 and LC2), I gotta say I love it. That being said, I still use my 5 yr. old maxed out Dell laptop for certain things that just work better on a PC than a Mac. It's the best of both worlds. I haven't run Boot Camp et.al to this point bc I haven't had to, but I definitely think having Windows around in some form is helpful for certain things.
Edit: Woody, I bought AHP today. This program is insane! For 30 bucks it's worth the upgrade over Audacity, that's for sure!
it seems my mixer is only recording from the left? Anyone know what the hell is going on here?
nvm.... but still wondering how to burn with track markets on the cd. Sound Studio just cuts the tracks but doesnt burn them.
Correct, you'll need another program to burn the tracks that sound studio makes.
You CAN use iTunes to do that, just create a playlist and drag the files onto that and click burn... well, you also have to make sure that in iTunes preferences that you set the space between tracks for burning to 0, or you'll get gaps.
I use Roxio Toast to do the actual burning, but of course it's not a free application. There might be something else out there you can use.

on itunes you can also make it a gapless album.. so when listening to it there will be no gaps between tracks and it will burn with no gaps also...
just use any burning program..
If you have bootcamp or parallels or VMWare Fusion just burn it with a windows program ie Nero. windows media player will even do it.
PS. are you happy with your mac? just curious how it is treating you generally.

Hey so i ended up figuring out how to work the two programs and it is actually pretty simple. Im marking the breaks on sound studio and exporting the tracks into a folder as an mp3 and burning them on Itunes. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM! Not that the CD is pausing when it changes between the two tracks but it is actually skipping. Its set to no gaps but everytime the track changes it kinda skips a beat and is not a smooth transition. Sorry to be a bit of a perfectionist but its really pissing me off lol. But I am enjoying the mac overall and love workin with it!
iTunes -> Preferences-> Advanced -> Burning
Set "gap between songs" to none.
