The bulk of the dev kits shipped this week. Has anybody seen it in the 'wild' yet? I have two boxes that are very close to the specs of the dev machine that I would like to try it on. More info is here: http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0506intelmac.html Peace.

I agree. I will be happy to have some sort of VM program to run Windows apps that I need until something else comes along to replace it.

I don't exactly hate Microsoft but I'm tired of the following:

-Hot Fixes that break working parts of the OS
-Service Packs that break working hot fixes and other parts of the OS
-Microsoft's 'I don't care' attitude about the whole mess
-Idiotic decissions that wreak havoc with users; ie MS Fireall in SP2, ActiveX controls and their admin powers, Windows M.E., insanely expensive licensing, the list goes on...
-Some kind of direction on Longhorn. I've never seen such a screwed up direction from MS...

I just think competitiion would be great here.

At this point, a nice Unix based system with good security, and very nice GUI, and the ability to run Windows apps at decent speeds in a window just sounds very nice. I know Linux and BSD are out there but OS X is just so much more complete than the others.
