OS X had better kick ass. For me this is Apple's final curtain
call. I have been a life-long, devoted follower of the Great
Apple and now it is time my devotion paid off. Cool hardware is
great Steve, now lets see the goods on the inside. posted by

required on reboot? Stupid, stupid, stupid; let's hope that's
dead in the final version. 128 MB RAM required - well, that's no

application.  My favorite part of the story: Virtual PC will not
run in the "Classic" environment. Asking an emulator to run an
emulator does seem a little cruel. But Q3 and Unreal Tournament
supposedly run 33% slower in the Classic environment, which
makes X a non-starter for Mac gamers. (Both of them.) It also
doesn't support AirPort yet - so no more answering email from
the iBook on the sofa for a while. Also sounds as if it has
trouble with FireWire devices,
