"The rumors and speculation continue to build pre-Macworld with a flurry of articles about what Apple could introduce tomorrow.

 

MacRumors will provide live coverage of the MacWorld keynote at http://www.macrumors.com which also displays a minute-by-minute countdown until the event."

 

macrumors.com is a cool site if you are as apple-obsessed as i am.

 

products rumored to be introduced include a big mac plasma display, updates to the iLife suite of apps, the first intel-based macs, a mac mini-based digital entertainment hub, ipod shuffle updates, airport express for video, and i'm sure the infamous "one more thing ..."

 

:D

They have released intel dual core laptop and imac.

 

Will dual OS's be possible?

from what i understand, there is no technical reason for this not to work.

 

i see the move to intel as a very sneaky way for mac to get into the corportate game ... if they choose to go that route.

 

whatever the case, my IRA is happy - apple up 5% today on all the great revenue news ...

From what I've heard Apple position on that is: " we know people will want to do that and we won't stand in their way, but at the same time we also won't support it." So you can set up your new MacBook to dual boot, but if you F it up, you're on your own. :D

That is usually their position, but even though they won't support it, other companies will spring up that make it easy imo.

 

There will be demand for it.

 

Think I'll wait to replace my present machine until I see hoe this shakes out.

I'm trying hard to come up with a reason not to order one of the new iMacs. Love the new slogan: "What's an Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lot more than its ever done in a PC." :D

one reason is to wait until the bugs shake out. first runs of apples, especially with a brand new processor, are infamous for startup issues. i'd let them shake out for a few months.
