Visual Studio starts up much quicker than it does on my PC, love the MacBook, i bought it not really knowing whether ill like it or hate it, but can easily say now it's the best laptop ive ever owned.

I do have Small Business Server running via parallels to do some SharePoint development and for a VM it's really fast.

If you live with a teacher, or you have a child, you can buy it. It's a household license, 3 or 5 installs can't remember exactly.

What a twunt.

Don't buy an iMac yet - new ones will be out before Christmas.

Open office (neo office on mac) is ok, but a bit flakey.

Macs have had more than one mouse button for ages Churchill - come out of the dark ages...
