Well I do have to say vista runs pretty good on my Macbook, typing this from there now. It's different in one way but still the same ol' windows in another. BTW there is a opti…

Yeh, battery life is actually appauling!! Less than 1/4 of what I get in OS X. I was using Vista (full charge to start), after 10 minutes, I was down to 80% battery - thats crap! …

It's a little slow on mine, but I imagine that will be better once released, I noticed part of it is the typical windows thing. The desktop maybe loaded but there is still stuff g…

OK... On my MacBook: Aero Glass is working fine with the GMA 950 using the Lakeport drivers, and running the Vista performance app to turn Aero on. The effects are OK, and some ar…

If you've already used the "Restore" option in the Mac iPod updater, the iPod is in the factory state. The Windows buyer should simply need to use the Windows iPod updater and the…

anyone know when? must be soon, coctail 3.7.2 was just released, and "addresses compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.4.7". what's new in .7??

You can read the rumor sites. Nobody who is actually using 10.4.7 can comment on what's new, per the Apple developer NDA.

My guess it comes out end of day friday.

If not thursay, then monday at the soonest. Apple rarely posts updates on friday/weekend due to the large numbers of updates that (supposedly) go wrong dont get addressed immediate…

If not Monday, or Tuesday, maybe Wednesday perhaps Thursdays the day, but if not definitely Friday

This will be out by -5:98 PM this evening. [This post brought to you by your friends at MOSR]

So, I take it we're all just guessing then?
