I say the near future lineup looks like this:

Notebooks:
MacBook (formerly iBook)
MacBook Pro (formerly PowerBook)

Desktops:
Mac (formerly iMac, yes, they would rename the Intel version)
Mac Pro (formerly PowerMac)
Mac Mini (capitalize the mini)

Servers:
MacRack or MacServe (formerly Xserve)

Rumored Tablet:
MacPad

A non-HD DVD promoting HD-DVD.

My first reaction to the announcement was "I bet Microsoft won't be developing that Intel-compatible version of Virtual PC after all." After further consideration, I've changed my mind (if I were a betting man).

Virtual PC has obvious downsides, the biggest of which is the serious performance hit and lack of native device drivers, etc. due to running in a virtualized environment. For power users, something like Boot Camp is brand new and a necessity.

For office users, however, Virtual PC has serious advantages. It shares a clipboard with OS X, it runs windowed alongside your Mac apps with drag and drop functionality between the two, and generally fits into a mixed-platform workflow far better than a dual-boot scenario.

So for what its worth, I suspect Microsoft will realize this and press on with developing a Universal Virtual PC app, and that its sales will be the same or better than the last version, as it is adopted by former Virtual PC users now on Intel-based systems. It should be exponentially faster, as well, as the x86 processor emulation will no longer be necessary.

Just gotta add that a coworker of mine received his from MacMall's first shipment, and the period key cap would, without fail, pop off if your keystroke landed on the forward half of the key cap.

After a call to MacMall revealed that they "don't have that the kind of relationship with Apple" that would allow them to do an exchange for such a problem he called Apple.

Their R&D department wanted it so they could eliminate any potential future occurences of the problem, and prepaid overnight shipping for him to send in the MacBook Pro and exchanged his keyboard, then overnighted it back to him.

It was his first Mac and, after a disappointing Day 1, he was quite happily surprised by Apple's willingness to make sure his experience was a good one. Bonus points for them.

Yeah, those "bananas" are great for late-night gaming.

In all seriousness, though, you'd think that anyone at Microsoft could have looked at the sales figures to date and decided to send a bunch of special edition systems to the UNITED FREAKING STATES. Gah.

"It�s almost impossible to understate the impact of Nintendo�s Game Boy." I think you meant it's almost impossible to OVERstate the impact. It's quite simple to understate it.

I also echo those above who noted the absence of the Tiger LCD games (Mega Man 3 was my favorite) and the Tapwave Zodiac.

Tag. I'm in.

Ugh ... they "2" is the bottom quadrant of the click wheel? Kill me now. I'll even keep my ROKR E1 instead of this monstrosity.
