Nice picture, I suppose people might enjoy the 'style' of a Mac, with the commonly known Windows OS.

This is the laptop that Jason Langridge used for his Windows Mobility Security Ecosystem talk this morning at MEDC in Las Vegas.

Whoa--you make me think of something! It would suck to have to use windows without a windows key. Mac keyboards have Ctrl + Alt, right? Imagine not being able to bring up task manager...

Whoa-- maybe you should think again then. Apple's keboards have control alt AND have the "Apple" key which is really called the command key. I am pretty sure that it has been on the Mac keyboard longer than the "Window" key on wintel boxes.

It's funny you should mention that but I rarely find I have to bring up the running apps manager on my Mac at home in the past 4-5 years compared to the PC I use at work every day or my PC at home which is just a VS box, but even if I do there is a key combination for it. Cool

No, no. You forget. Apple says people aren't smart enough for two whole buttons on a mouse. Tongue Out

Probably Boot Camp but possibly Parallels Workstation.

no, modern Apples have an Intel chipset and motherboard, which means they're just regular Wintel boxes, except running OSx86.

I hate the name "Boot Camp." No joke, the first time I heard it I thought it was some kind of event...

Well it is just a code name, right?

Yeah, but we just had a kid get kicked and beaten to death here in Florida at a 'boot camp' so the term is a little akward:

"Hey, isn't Boot Camp Cool!!!!"

"er...no".

but you can't upgrade the touch pad on a laptop to have a right click. Sad

Simplicity wins again!
