The Perfect Computer

The Macbook Pro is shaping up to be the perfect computer. My existing Powerbook is bloody good: fast, stable, no malware and extremely well designed, but I occasionally have to run VirtualPC to test out some Windows stuff in work, and that’s a pain in the arse. However, with the announcement of Boot Camp yesterday, the MacBookPro can dual-boot WinXP and there are a number of native-speed virtualisation products out there, and rumours that OS X 10.5 will have virtualisation built-in to the OS, meaning that the days of scratching my arse while waiting for VirtualPC to do something prrocessor-intensive are over. Tom ordered his yesterday, but I’m going to wait until just before the end of the tax year to get mine. Only two months to go ;-)
