This year will be a ladmark year in the world of computing. Earlier this week Apple announced a new version of the MacMini that has a dual core intel cpu. While it is not possible to run Windows XP (thank’s to Mactel’s new EFI), it is becoming increasing possible to run x86 linux on the new macs. Add to all that goodness, Windows Vista will be coming out this year. While I am generally suspicious of Microsoft by default, I am excited to see the first update to Microsoft’s desktop OS in nearly five years.
