doesn't anyone here wonder how microsoft got away with "borrowing" again?

even the name "X" "P", seems too close to OS "X"

this may be a stupid question, but what does "XP" stand for?

I think Microsoft says it stands of "eXPeriance" or something.

isn't the whole thing about taking 2 or 3 letters from a word and capitolizing them at random a little 10 year old AIM-ish?

the whole 'still booting os9' thing, i don't think it'sr eally all that deep. they make a roadmap. "we'll just dump new processors in until 'this' revision and then we will do a full redesign"

airport extreme and bluetooth require a motherboard redesign AND at the least a minor case redesign or possibly a major one depending on a number of factors.

why didn't they go ahead and do a motherboard redesign? i think it's because the plan says 'we will do it later' this saves money and keeps distinction between the 12"PB and the 12"IB - which is something store employees conplain about already.

wow it's like...microsoft's website again...

My thoughts exactly. Anytime I see an overcrowded too busy website for some reason I instantly think Windows.

Oh, and on the new iBooks. They are cool because they are an extra 100MHz and a bigger hard drive and a better video card for the same price.

i totally forgot about the new video card in it. by the next iBook updates, i might have saved up enough money to get my own
