    I wonder when OSX will come out for PC's, which is IMO far more interesting than XP on a MAC, seeing as I own a PC. But it's quite interesting for MAC owners.

      Wow this makes getting an Ibook really really tempting now...

      Too bad they go for 2 Grand and I can get a Dell E1705 for $800 less with a coupon
      Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

        iBooks weren't even introduced in Intel flavour?...or did I miss something recently?

          An iBook for $2k?


          So maybe not as cheap as a Dell, but then maybe you were thinking of a MacBook Pro



          Back to topic...
          This is good news on my end. I dislike having to use Windows anymore, but sometimes I need to for work, so this is a decent alternative to having to run a virtual PC or keep a physical one around.

          Kinda feel sorry for the poor geeks who slaved over getting XP to run on the Intel Macs.

              Now if only someone had a Mac so they can install it and run some benchies, like 3DMark2003-5-6 and then post their results and specs.

                Well I'd be willing to accept delivery of a MacBook Pro or a Mac Mini...

                Not sure what good a MAC (address) would do you

                  @ Zokes, I've got OSX running on my PC (dual boot) although it's running great it lacks drivers especially graphic drivers (no nvidia drivers refresh rate locked at 60hz ).

                  I'm still waiting until Apple releases the new PowerMacs at the end of the year to buy me a new Mac .

                    Only question - will they still be called Powermacs?

                    MacMacs Pro perhaps?

                      @Jesterzwild: See edit!

                      @Chrono: I know, but it would be nice if another OS take over the world other than MS' Windows.

                      @KeiFront: Plus it doesn't have DirectX. If it did and it ran on PC's, it would probably give MS a run for it's money. However I am more tempted to purchase a Mac now.

                      @Nowhere: LOL! What about PowerMac Pro?

                          It's not because I asked for it that it's going to be MY fault if it happens.
