Yes, this is the nice thing about virtualisation. Even if doesn't support Vista today it may do later via a software update. It's part of the coolness.
After 15 years as an Apple FanBoi buying the latest as soon as Steve brings it down from the mountain top I have NEVER had a problem with their hardware, EVER.
"Oh sure but your just one guy in Millions!" you might say.
The font is AWFUL. Maybe it looks good on a Linux box or on a Mac, but the subjective readability of Slashdot's text on IE6 has just dropped by 50%.
The only good thing about this is that I'm going to get about an hour of my time back every day I avoid reading Slashdot.
Good luck, guys, it was fun while it lasted and I enjoyed most of my time here.
There goes Slashdot's last IE user...
There is often a disconnect between these advertised rates and the end-to-end experience.
This is somewhat (though not exactly) like PCs being sold on the basis of CPU speed alone. There are so many other factors relating to overall system performance.
Yes there should be a better measure. Will there be?
"How do I make users feel like they have broadband when my network is basically oversubscribed?"
QoS is a congestion control mechanism.
Maybe cable companies should be thinking about whether their back-haul and backbones can support the "high-speed" connections they are selling for "bargain" prices to consumers.
All this means is that IF someone in the NSW government wants to buy an open source solution they CAN do so from Novell without a paper-war. It doesn't mean that the state of NSW is ditching Windows and "going" Linux.
This is cool and it puts Intel Macs into the hands of people who contribute. Maybe Apple understands that OSS contributors can't necessarily upgrade to the latest. This makes sure that the top dozen contributors to Safari get "Intellized". Smart AND nice.
There is a major difference that ALWAYS gets overlooked here. Apple set out from the start to have a strategy where the player, the software and the store operate together. They did not have a monopoly (or anything anywhere near like it) in any of the three areas when they started. You could argue that they dominate all three NOW but they did not leverage a monopoly in one market to build another. They deliver the digital music experience. Clearly the public loves it.
Each component compliments the other. Apple did not sell 45 Million iPods and then go "right, let's lock people into a newly released store". The iTunes music store has grown in market position hand-in-hand with the growth of the iPod. It's Apple's right to build it that way and it's the consumers right to like it.

Maybe the guy has some actual documentation about Windows internals they can use...
I hear they are looking at the "Inter-Net" to provide "Digital Phonography".

"Yeah, I know....windows....Mac OS X, windows blah blah blah."
This IS actually the point.
Mac OS X IS the differentiator. If you don't want Mac OS X - get your Dell. If you do then get one of these.
Simple.

Indeed, just like these "bad mac" stories.

ISPs sell on the basis of connection line rate.

Probably not.
Yes, yes good for you you have a "girlfriend" and you got a "kiss"
Insensitive clod...

:-P
If only Microsoft could learn from the comma and deliver earlier rather than later.
You guys are getting carried away with physics here I was talking about marketing.
The world works differently in brochures...
"Soooo... How many mHz does it run at?"
When talking about number crunching it's infinite Ghz.
When talking about battery life it's 0 hz.
"Where do you want to go today?"
Ugh.
Ahhh, so "Mr Wrinkle" is not your real name?
And as a bonus they release Mac versions with all the features in sync on dual format disks.
I agree - gotta love those guys.
I'm not fat! You're just viewing me with the wrong aspect ratio...

"I love my Apple-centric media room, don't get me wrong, but Apple makes two things: computers and MP3 players.
...oh and they also have small online song store that has recently sold it's billionth song...
Okay, and now a crappy $300 stereo for the den."
Great! Now you've started it....
Now we are going to have to pay extra for the "licensed for skip-free technology" versions!
It says on the link you posted "A Macintosh computer with ..."
Which Macintosh Computer do you know of that did NOT ship with Mac OS?

'has a nice large article in it about Lego, which basically states that "Lego will do for robotics what iPod has done for music".'
10,000 Robots in your pocket...
