well it sure is nice to look at, and im sure that most of its sales are going to be based on the purdy case (as most mac sales are and have been since the imac), but isnt this all going to be out and 10x better in the PC world in a matter of months? i dont even think that you could get that much out of having dual cpus, and i wouldnt want to touch that.... cpu drivers and the cooling situation.... ick. macs have always been bringing out the latest and greatest, sure, but PC manufactuors bring stuff like this into the mainstream (and lower prices) if you want one of these so bad go buy one, take the case, replace the power supply, put in motherboard+cpu+ram and voila! a 2.2 intel P4 a nice purdy case for all those out there that love purdy cases.
so what this means is that companies can leech more talent and code from the open source community in a profitable way? a bad decision for open source in my opinion.
