My professors who are proficient with both platforms advised against purchasing a Mac is I really am serious with designing networks for Cisco. For one,there is no Boson Network Designer for Mac, and they say that I can do very limited things with a Mac. With the release though of Windows XP on a Mac, is this limitation a thing of the past?

Things we need to know a) Macbook Pro = Hot very hot has any one verified this??? 2) Battery Times any conclusive proof maybe 4 hours or less 3) When is Doom 3 availiable ??? . Things I have read and heard from Apple and other sources: firewire 800 going to make a comeback when Apple get off it's ass to reimplement it with the new intel processor something that was skipped to get the lovely Macbooks on shelves. 2nd the Isight is bigger as a) cheaper to produce b) higher quality c) the larger lese can gather more light leading brighter pics. only gripe with the machine extra resolution loss though no big deal though only flaw that probably wont be altered.

Questo è il quantum leap che ha fatto Apple in questo gennaio di annunci. In anticipo di sei mesi rispetto a quello che il CEO ci aveva detto lo scorso anno. Sei mesi sono tanti… forse troppi. Troppi per tutti quelli che sviluppano software, che non sono pronti. La stessa Apple non ha pronte le applicazioni Pro (Logic, Final Cut, Motion), non lo saranno prima di marzo. Marzo… Tutti a marzo arriveranno, chissà perché?! Anche MS rilascerà gli aggiornamenti per Office nel suddetto mese, per migliorare la compatibilità con Rosetta. Firefox, Comino, Thunderbird? Marzo anche loro. Solo Quark fornisce una beta della 7.0 compatibile con MacIntel (ma credo che non abbia tutte le feature attive). Perché esci oggi con l’hardware e dopo tre mesi con i primi software? Ipotesi a: per bruciare la concorrenza, per dimostrare forza e convinzione in questo switch, intanto cominci. Non importa se le applicazioni non ci sono. Arriveranno. E anche gli sviluppatori si sentiranno motivati maggiormente a realizzare gli universal binary. Ipotesi b: richiede una premessa, ed una presa di coscienza. I nuovi Mactel viaggiano veramente molto! Sono veloci e performanti. Vedere per credere: questo video parla chiaro. Il MacBook Pro è decisamente moooolto più veloce degli attuali Powerbook con il G4. Riesce ad eseguire in tempo reale roba che il mio 17′ 1.5Gh si sogna. La applicazioni native hanno una resa che non credevo fosse possibile. Immagino che l’iMac non sia certo da meno, anzi! Ecco, alla fine di questa premessa, l’ipotesi b, mi fa pensare che se oggi ci fossero state le Proapp, avrebbero ucciso il mercato dei Powermac. Perché devo comprarmi un dualcore G5 da 2000 euro, se con 1400 mi prendo un iMac ugualmente performante?! Considerando poi che ora l’iMac supporta un monitor esterno sul quale estendere la propria scrivania!!! Se poi proprio li voglio spendere ’sti duemilaeuro mi prendo un Mac Book Pro, con il vantaggio di avere un portatile da portare sempre con me, che però va quanto la il Powermac!! Forse l’ipotesi a mi pare più sensata… quasi più etica. [...] [...] Il vero salto temporale comunque, riguarda le nuove macchine con processori intel.
