Infoworld is a trade rag that I have been reading for many moons now. It has traditionally spewed a heavy WinTel bias in it's reporting IMNSHO. This is a shocker! http://weblog.infoworld.com/enterprisemac/..._to_wintel.html

My New Dual Core Intel Mac Book Pro is the machine I have been anxiously anticipating for the past 15 years! It runs M$ Windoze better and faster than my 3.0Ghz P4! ![]() Windows XP "boots" in < 10 seconds. Programs run at full native speed. No "emulation" crap like SoftPC etc. Simply Amazing. As soon as I get linux installed I will show a screen dump with all 3 OS'es running simultaneously. Dell should be shaking in it's boots.

Dell should be adapting or facing its demise like everything else in free market capitalism. |

Now that we can see what Mark's "warn" level is, what with all the Pro-Mac stuff, we can wait to see how long it takes for it to get a bunch of little red squares.

Comment? Not really it speaks for itself and says what you and I have known for a long long time. I do have a question, though, you said that Parallels runs really fast on your Mac. Suitable for basic Windows applications? I know it doesn't support graphic hardware acceleration, but otherwise OK? (gonna get me an iMac next week) Princess:
That's why I love you... |
