    I would have hoped that you would actually understand what anti-trust meant but that was too much to hope for too.

    Hey you could always try communism. Oh wait, no you can't it already failed.
    Perhaps socialism? No that's not really an economics system. Oh well, stuck with capitalism i guess. You're boned dude.

    So buy an older model for cheap (Apples tend to hold value fairly well despite their supposed unpopularity) on E-bay and have it delivered. A KVM costs about $20 these days and you would be expanding your skill set so increasing presumably your desirability as an employee or consultant. The only reason I keep a PC around is that I can keep my skills up to date and therefore be hired more easily.

    The MS store right across the mall from the Apple store apparently. The one with the identical layout and the "Bar" full of MS genius type people with the ex Apple store Manager and Apple store blue print on the table.
    If Apple is so bad, why is MS deciding to copy them exactly like this. I guess Apple have hit on the way to sell PCs.

    I just said he should feel bad, not refrain from doing it. It makes it somehow more poignant if you at least feel bad about it.

    Ah Ok citation needed. You are maybe an engineer for Apple or have xray vision or some other special insight. Perhaps Apple should be talking to you with their lawyer about non-disclosure violations? Until you can prove this special knowledge that no one else has I will tend to not think you are so much in the know.

    Why don't you just go down to the Apple store and ask to shown around. It's what all those macs are sitting there for.

    Wrong, it is specified, inspected and tested Apple approved PC parts on a scratch designed motherboard with their timings and their layout. The Intel Chipset may indeed have been used but so what, maybe in their inspection process the pick and choose the ones that have the best characteristics (unlikely but possible) and perhaps they have other quality control bits that make it a bit better than the average PC parts.

    Put a crap load of these on top of a huge pile of high frequency vibration sensitive super explosives and a cheap ten year battery powered lazer pulser pointed at the crystals in one of those nifty photon torpedo shaped things from the movie and what have you got? Instant photon torpedo.

    Linux for the Desktop is what they are using to develop Duke Nukem Forever! The Scm and the memory management is a little buggy though it seems as if they have to keep re-starting re-compile and re-install cycles for both on an hourly basis. It could take a while to get finished at this rate.
