Hi Charles;
Remembering 30 years back, is a while, but 1987 at San Francisco, looking at the Mac II's impact and after the trip to China, is not that long ago, really. Yet sitting in front of that first Apple II, for me 1979 seems a very long time ago. :-D

Intel Mac mini Confounds Market with Higher Price
Low End Mac's Leaman Crews says:
One of the most frustrating things for Mac fans in the Intel transition is that Apple's been confounding their expectations all the way.
For instance, you might expect that part of the reason for switching to Intel would be Windows compatibility, but that clearly hasn't been on Apple's radar. They have taken a rather laissez-faire attitude towards Windows booting, saying they won't stop it or support it.
When the Intel Macs shipped with their EFI architecture, making Windows booting a challenge worth a $14,000 prize, it was confirmed once and for all that Apple wasn't trying to deliver dual-boot machines.
Another popular Intel switch theory is that it would allow Apple to lower their prices. After all, if Windows PCs are cheaper and use Intel CPUs, Intel inside Apple would surely mean cheaper Macs.
....many had their hopes up for the arrival of the Intel Mac mini, seeing it as a cheap way to get their hands on the latest generation of Macs. Confounding expectations yet again, Apple raised the price on the low-end mini by $100 - and by $200 on the high-end model, which now includes a SuperDrive.

Mac mini Core Duo running Windows XP
O'Reilly.net's Todd Ogasaware says:
A friend brought over a dual-booting Mac mini Pro Duo with 2GB RAM to show me. An Intel-based Mac running Microsoft Windows XP is not quite the sensation it might have been a couple of weeks ago. But, this was still the first time I saw a Mac mini Core Duo dual booting Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows XP and I have to admit I was impressed at the boot speed for both Mac OS X and Windows XP.
I thought XP would boot slowly (still thinking emulation even though I know it is running natively) and was surprised to see how fast it came up to the point where the mouse and keyboard was usable on the Mac mini....

Final Cut Studio is not supported on Mac Mini (Early 2006)
A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
If you have a Mac Mini (Early 2006), the Final Cut Studio (Universal) crossgrade Installer does not prohibit you from installing the pro applications, but this configuration does not meet the minimum system requirements for Final Cut Studio.
