  1. What is the impact REALLY of MSFT withdrawing MSN support for the Mac? Do Mac user’s use MSN? Will this be a non-issue like IE for the Mac? Other than MS Office and perhaps Virtual PC, are MS apps retuired for switchers to consider the Mac? What if Virtual PC was withdrawn? What about Office?

  2. MDN: “The intraday all-time high stands at $84.80 also set during trading yesterday.”
    What about today’s intraday high of $86.40? Doesn’t that count?

    MW: “not” (Yesterday’s intraday high does NOT stand.)

  3. I don’t get this exactly. I was very disappointed to see that Apple brought out 2 new Intel processor based Macs that are in no way enabled to run Windows apps side by side with OS X based apps. This is a major oversight that will really hurt Apple unless some hacker takes this as a “Developer Opportunity”. Apple didn’t make the system ready to boot Windows in a partition and Microsoft has no plans to update Virtual PC for the Intel based platform (of course). This means that although you could run Windows apps that are not available on OS X in Virtual PC on the PowerPC based Macs, you cannot run them on the new Intel based Macs. That has huge consequences: Anyone that is forced to run any Windows app at any time, can no longer use his Mac to do so. That will turn a lot of serious Mac users off for the new Intel based Macs. Very disappointing indeed because there are situations where running Windows based apps is the only solution. I wonder what happens with the AAPL stock price if people start finding out that their new MacBook Pros or iMacs don’t have any ability to do so.

  4. True, Watcher. MDN must be having a little intraday high of its own. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />

    Smoke ’em if ya got ’em, boyz!

  5. Tony – there are other options. DarWINE will soon (don’t know when) provide the capability to run windows apps in OS X – no dual booting necessary. This need WILL get met, and it’ll be cool. Just a question of getting these machines in enough people’s hands…
