That's brilliant. I can't say that it's unexpected, but I'm glad to see it officially supported.
There was one time that I wished I could run some software that was written for PCs, but I can't remember what it was... matthewpiers.com • @matthewpiers | robertsonphoto.blogspot.com | @thewsreviews • thewsreviews.com

sure!
(a) with PCs, i hate to have the issue of "blue" screens. (that is when the computer hangs on you) This may be caused by running several programs at once and probably due to insufficient RAM. But no matter how much extra RAM i increase it, that will not help. But this issue is not seen with my usage with MACs. I would open FCP and Photoshop together, surfing the net and chatting on MSN all at once and no blue screen... (b) back in the days where virus and "unwanted" programs just lingers in your PC or gets installed into your PC over the net, it was a concern. Pop-up windows just open consecutively over one click. However, i dun seem to have this issue with MAC. I do not deny that this has reduced over the recent yrs with anti-spam programs for PC. © Apple always seem to provide a "package" deal. Like a computer for everything you need. And i happen to fall under that consumer group that they target. Its not true that only the creative industry needs an Apple. It used to be that way. But with Apple slowing getting a piece of the "family"-computer market, i do hope its us as consumers who will be benefiting they are just some of my thoughts... of cse, there are cons too of getting a Mac too... price.. limited software.. cheers~!

1) The Mac is a total package - everything just works.
2) No viruses. 3) Runs both Windows and Apple software (on the new Intel Macs). 4) Better value (when you look at the total package). 5) Innovative product. 6) Easier to use. 7) Out of the box experiance (you have to open the box of a new Mac to inderstand this). 8) Better design - looks great. These are just some initial thoughts

LOL, no intel based station here.
The hardware isnt that much of a diffrence, but the os is. Mac is expensive, and with the intelbased clients, one can argue if the price is justified. But then again, on mac you can run both osx and xp. On pc you need to hack the whole system, sure for computer geeks this isnt a problem. But for us that depend on our workstations and need them to run day in and day out, its not a very good solution. Im so happy i switched, i wouldnt trade my quad for any intelbased machines on the market today. I will at least wait 1 generation before i invest in the next tower mac. Osx is far more effective for me, then windows ever been. /Paul L. Strives to make photos instead of taking them...

Ooo, the rumour mill is running hot again:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=453 Quote:Apple Inc. may sell zippy notebook computers later this year that use the same type of fast memory as music players and digital cameras, driving down prices of hard-disk drives, an analyst said on Thursday.Sounds more like a PDA to me than a notebook computer.... Quote:Flash notebooks make a lot of sense because they can boot instantly and run longer on battery power because they don't have to spin up a magnetic hard disk drive (the most power consuming process of an HDD). All this should add up to as much as twice the battery life we get from current MacBooks and MBPs. Apple has some of the strongest buying power of NAND flash memory in the business because of their market dominating iPod. It doesn't hurt that Apple holds supplier arrangements with the world's five-largest NAND suppliers, either.
