“Don’t assume that I want to ‘run OS X natively’ either…I’m fine with all of the applications I have [STOLEN] that run in windows, thank you.” (emphasis, truth mine)
Ok, so why do you even care? Change the channel if you don’t like it, there are plenty of people who would buy this thing (myself not included). One of the people I work with is preordering one today with the SSD option. Soothsaying aside, I think apple will be just fine. People who want more options but can care less about the size, weight, and looks will buy the Pro or the MacBook.
Also, that Sony that you quoted is a Sony, remember (with no camera, not as light, doesn’t come with iLife ’08, and doesn’t run OS X [without an assload of hassle])? You get what you pay for.
I’m mean you’re just like me. You complain about people being stupid (by our opinion) in being “duped” by products we deem inferior. You think that about the majority if not all of Apple’s products, and I feel that about the PC platform and the majority of what Microsoft produces.
Oddly enough the people who we complain about buy this stuff, use it, and we support them. They actually produce we just bitch about the technology and help them use it.
