EDIT: Seems like a consumer-oriented version control system. Would be a little more impressive if Vista hadn't announced theirs last week.
LOL!
The fact that it can be made to work with an off-site server makes it even more attractive.
The main question is the UI, and whether they can convey the complexities of version control in a way that actual people can use.
EDIT: Apparently "exciting updates to mail" means "letting Mail do what Outlook did a decade ago" Notes and to-do lists, woohoo.
Time Machine in action
There better be a big frickin' reveal at the end to justify spending 10 minutes talking about stale email functionality.
multiple logins, visibility, animated icons, video recording, and tabbed chats
I LUB YOU STEEVE JOBS
The Mac Pro and Xserves look sweet, but practically everyone was expecting them, and their awesomeness owes more to Intel than to Apple.
Time Machine is pretty, and looks simple to use, but (like I said before) there are some huge wrinkles to work out of version control before my grandma can use it. Even if you only allow one user to access the tree, you still have forking and merge issues to deal with.
As for the rest of the stuff, given the degree of rhetoric lobbed at Microsoft for "ripping off" Apple's good ideas, you'd think they'd have been a little more discrete when borrowing their "new feature" ideas from Outlook, GAIM, and every Linux window manager ever written.
Remember: when Microsoft does it, they're "Copycats", when Apple does it, it's "Innovation".
I've never owned a portable. Is it worth it?
Also keep in mind the inevitable move to quad-core Xeons this winter.
I don't do a whole lot of video work, and I don't necessarily need all that horsepower at this moment. The main reason I would get a desktop over a laptop are expandability.
It's still a hard choice to make.
The portables will likely get Core 2 Duo at some point, though.
ditto.
I have a problem with them ripping off lots of ideas and simultaneously giving Microsoft a tremendous amount of shit for ripping off ideas.
The first is the natural order of the software industry, the second is base hypocrisy.
Sorry, I read your original comment as dual-core instead of quad-core, so that is why I was confused. More coffee!
