A lot of Apple users also have a PC at home to take care of everything else that Apple won’t allow. But a Mac, laptop or desktop, couldn’t hurt having around the office.

Yes Aidan, you are correct. My bad on this one as I am actually about to buy a MacBook Pro in the very near future. Naturally that’s what I keep thinking about as I keep postponing it. Word on the street is that quad core processors are coming to MacBooks, which explains why I haven’t gotten one yet. This isn’t the first time I go ahead and type MacBook Pro instead of Mac Pro, although I assure you my heart was in the right place. :D

I think I will stick with PC’s – I have yet to see a overpriced Mac that can come close to being able to run the hardware I want to run, not to mention being able to be easy to upgrade. No matter what, you are stuck with whatever Apple decides to ‘allow’ you to use and for me, I would rather have some semblence of control rather than be totally controlled by a fruity company :p

ummmm — i think this article confuses mac pro with macbook pro.

mac pro’s are the flagship power model and will no doubt be the first to utilise the Gulftown processor (they currently run on the 4 core Nehalem)

MacBOOK pros are currently still using Core 2 Duo – but I expect it wont be long before the top end MacBOOK pro sports a quad core processor.
