Review: I have been bullish on Apple for a while. I still think it hits 90 by yearend.

Review: "Lavono" isn't listening, but Lenovo might. Actually, probably not.

Review: I am currently running Windows XP Pro SP2 (as well as Ubuntu Linux) on my Intel iMac using Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta 4. It seems they have read your article and have already addressed many of the issues you have brought up. The WiFi is working perfectly, and this computer thinks it is three computers. While I have only been using it a short while, I have to say, this is a great answer to any person who wants an unhindered computing experience. Macs for media, XP for critical business applications, and Ubuntu for the growing wealth of open-source software. The only drawback I see is the extra cost of buying a copy of XP and a copy of Parallels, plus some extra RAM (at least 1 GB total installed). But this is relatively trivial considering what you get: the ability to run any software you desire at great speed. You no longer have to take sides. Just get one of the new Macs, and have it all. I am simply stunned at the possibilities.

Review: I now have a 17-inch iMAc running Tiger and XP Pro using bootcamp. And guess what? It totally rocks. Not only does XP boot up faster than any PC I've known-- including a Shuttle 64 series--but in the last two weeks I've had no error messages, hangups, or blue screens. That's probably a state of affairs that won't last. But anyways, it does say a lot about Apple's build quality. Photoshop CS2 runs incredibly fast on the Apple "WinPC," and that's what I'll continue using till Adobe releases a "Universal" version of its software.

Review: Workstation sounds great. What I want? An Intel built laptop that is rugged and can run Mac OS X. Are you listening Lavono? Dell? Apple builds horrible laptops, and their post-sale service is awful.

Review: I am going to buy an Intel Mac just as soon as possible. iBooks/Powerbooks were good for Mac and Unix, but sometimes you need to be able to run Windows software, too. Macs have a much longer history with this than Mr. Wildstrom suggests. Microsoft had very little to do with it. There was softPC for many years (most of the 90s) and then virtual PC from Connectix, which was only purchased recently by Microsoft. I would really like a MacBook (iBook replacement), because I could run any OS on it. Pick and choose the best for each situation. That is usually the Mac software for most anything except games, and the specialized software that may not exist for Mac specifically. Now it doesn't have to!

Review: I'm glad a professional pointed this out. I myself may call this old news, though I have found it important and since it isn't archaic news I'm happy. Funny how I had a conversation with a friend yesterday about this very subject, then a news article appeared on it.

Review: From a former Mac daddy, I had to switch platforms due to work (and taking work home) I miss the ease of use and sometimes still pull out my old mac for nostalgia sake. I have been drooling over the newer macs but could not justify it, now I can. Woo Hoo!!!!
