This doesn't surprise me at all, the MacBook Pro is incredibly sexy, and now that I could put Windows on it I want one more than ever.

What exactly makes flag and mobile a troll?

64-bit DOES have a consumer impact. It's not always positive though.Both Microsoft and Apple have used their 64-bit transitions as ways to deprecate and finally kill old coding practices and APIs. This has nothing to do with the huge new memory space or the sizes of pointers (directly), but both companies have seen their 64-bit transitions as a clear opportunity to draw a line in the sand.The good side is that performance might improve if the new API's perform better than the deprecated ones. My bet is that this is probably what claims of 64-bit speed gains are really attributable to. Of course, the bad side is that new code means new bugs. There will be cutting edge uses (video editing, nuclear simulation, kuel gamez) where more addresssable memory makes a real difference in the program's execution, but for now the pain and the benefits will be from the baggage that has to be dumped to move to 64 bit.

@bgbsYou realize it's Mac not MAC? It's a name, short for "Macintosh", *not an acronym*.(not to be confused with your ethernet's MAC address: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address</a> )Hard to take you seriously when you consistently sound like a n00b... sorry, I know it's a minor point, but this has become a pet peeve of mine because of the type people who make this of mistake.

Dude I want my pay right now. I've probably sold more Apples via my evangelism than anyone here. I never got a dime.One day I hope you find out first-hand what the concept of "rabid fan" means, because you won't get it from anything from the likes of Dell or Micro$oft.But like most people, you are probably content to stay in your dark hole instead of trying something new. Have fun in there, curmudgeon...

Amusingly, I seem to have been wrong about HP's profits as well. (So many numbers!) Their net income was only $1.55 billion or so, or 1.5x as much on 3.5x the revenue.

@KellyNo. Apple's market share is shrinking.<a class="user" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9011441&intsrc=article_more_bot">http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9011441&intsrc=article_more_bot</a>
