No; TheOnlyCoolTim is vey wrong about software support.. see mr100percent's reply above. I made the switch last summer from PC over to Mac (I really wanted OSX; was thoroughly fed up of having to reinstall Windows every month; and had neither the time or inclination to try to get Linux working on my box). I have not encountered a single "Damn I wish I had xyz app" moment; in fact; for what I want to do; I have more choice in the apps I can use. This argument is especially invalid these days; with OSX having a unix core; and the Fink project recompiling *nix apps left right and centre.
Oh god.. now I can't get the visions of Linus in a white disco tux (ha! - so that's where the penguin's name comes from!) with huge lapels doing his thang on a underlit dancefloor.
The PS3 is not going to be Power PC based. It's been mooted for some time that Sony are teaming up with IBM and Toshiba to manufacture a custom chip codenamed "Cell". This is mentioned in the article; and has been covered on the net before; a quick google reveals this.

Does anyone else get big LotR flashbacks when they see the phrase "The Nine" used in this context?
...before we have a EULA on DVD movies and Audio CD's? A EULA for the media itself anyone?
