I agree, anyone that dare puts a invigorating design out gets points with me. I am pro Mac (an all Mac Architect's office, a dying breed, hope for reversal), and I did't like the iMac when I first saw it in print/electrons, but after getting up close and personal, my mind changed. I suppose the same will happen here, though I did like the rumored ice/smoke grey combo a little better. A little more suttle, at least for my taste.
While most of these thnigs are great (mainly Apple still making it to another Macworld) , I think the most important is the OpenGL announcement.....look's like there is a industry standard 3D api now....being on all major platforms. Be, MS, SGI, Apple, and Linux? Also, the new G3 specs are pretty nice, but I am not sold on the case yet. Guess I will need to see one in person. I think SGI has them on this one, as far as cases go. But it looks like they will have some serious graphics horsepower. They are thinking different for sure, the Apple of years ago would never do any of this.
