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!

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.

:P

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

What if the hip and condescending mac owner has a hybrid too?

What if he gets 62.9 MPG?

Then what?

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. :sombrero:

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)

Suitable for all the Windows apps I ever want to run! :sombrero:

Including the software I write and it's development environment.

It really is fast.
