I thought we'd already established that Microsoft have a games division earlier

Quote: Originally posted by PBG4 Dude MS does certainly have a games division. Even before their acquisition of Bungee (those Halo guys) they put out games like Flight Simulator, HellBender, and of course, Solitaire! Jesus the whole reason I…

Oh how I would love to see DX9 or DX10 on OSX (and all that would mean for gaming on OSX and developers) but alas I don't see that happening.

While I agree that the G5 derivatives would be good in a console (and I'm not the only one, Microsoft does too!) this is a waste of a thread. One word, Pippin. Move along please, nothing to see here.

Here in the U my friend recently ordered an iBook and 20" iMac on my Apple account and the quoted shipping date is 3-4 weeks! Hopefully if they update the iBook he'll get the newer one.

Oh man, I was ready to sell my Powermac for a new iMac but these things are just so "unApple" I can't bring myself to do it. Some of the mockups in the iMac3 mockup thread were WAY more beautiful than this. What have they been smoking?

It's.........ugly If that pic is indeed correct then Apple has finally designed an ugly computer. Compared to the current iMac which IMO was an instant hit "looks-wise" this one sucks. Please tell me that pic is fake.....I mean come on, a w…

Which feed are you watching? I don't see anything about hardware!

This Keynote does seem to be dragging a bit, so far there's been nothing we haven't seen before. I dunno, I get the feeling we ain't gonna see the new iMac today.
