Test driving an Apple machine without buying one?

I am interested in using an Apple computer, but I want to test drive it for a couple of weeks before I actually buy the computer.

Is there a Linux distro that can emulate OSX good, because, IIRC, isn't OSX just Linux?
 
Ask your local Mac dealer (if there is one).

Edit: Apple had a "Test Drive a Mac Mini" program one year ago but at the moment they don't offer something like that.
 
Mac OS X is more like FreeBSD (UNIX) than Linux.

That said, Macs will also run Windows and Linux natively now (i.e. without an emulator such as VirtualPC), so you're not constrained to OS X if you don't like it.

I'm using a quad-core Woodcrest-based Mac Pro right now, and while I have the option of booting into Windows, I rarely do so (and then, it's only for Battlefield 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator).
