That's what Jabber does. Decentralised IM, you choose your provider and then IM with every other using jabber protocol. And that's what google talk should become, acording to google's motto "don't be evil"
Let's add Photoshop, Warcraft, Civilization, iTunes, [whatever here] and the reliability. It wins windows and linux (take no offense) hands down. I'm looking forward to see how a little bit more of market share changes things...
In fact they'd be useless, because when you connect to their database the cd-keys you generated wouldn't be there. Get it? They don't check if the key is ok, they check if they made the key.
This is clearly targeted for the students buying new computers in August and September.
It's all about dumping the last G4/G5 and gaining market share.
Wine is not a virtual machine -read: a virtual computer inside your operating system running at almost-native speed with no emulation flaws. That's why a virtual machine running windows (no need to run *nix, as os x already is *nix) would complete the last piece.
The true advantage of the x86 switch for Apple is being able to capture sales from windows users in two ways:
1) Dual-booting, or just selling it to the user with OS X knowing that he can fall back to windows if anything goes wrong. I bet most average joes would just keep OS X -I did.
2) VIRTUALIZATION. Being able to run Windows inside OS X at almost-native speeds would be the greatest thing that could happen to us people needing some vertical windows apps. With only an alt+tab get into a virtual-pc (or whatever), get it done and go back to OS X. I'd go for that. As for *nix, everythings working pretty nice. Wish they'd make X11 a bit more transparent, duh.
OS X could be in some years THE operating system...

Then, go Mac. Control what you want, and let everything else run smoothly -as it would do if you had set it up by hand. Believe me, it's like that.

It'll surprise you to see the FPS the radeon gets on the mini!
XHTML has its place: web.
If you were looking for something witty (and Slashdot-approven) to say, you meant Oasis.
And you'll better look for a DRM-cracking thing for Office's new fancy tech.

It's more of a virtual machine.
