See, Ben, you fall into group (1), the people who have no need for a MBP in the first place. My point was that people who did care about a GFX card would be downsell, not people who didn't care.

I don't see the 7300 as a major flaw in the Mac Pros. I mean, I'd have loved to have the x1900 standard, but really, the 7300gt was a decent fanless card that worked fine when you don't have much use for the graphics card. I mean, if you don't do …

Current flash-memory has wear-leveling, which spreads writes out among the transistors. That adds dramatically to flash life. Additionally, the number of writes the flash can handle is way the heck up there, like a few million writes or so. That …

Yeah, I have a feeling that Core Animation support in 3rd party apps will be a major driver of Leopard migrations. Every little Mac app will start using Core Animation, and become Leopard only, and so people will migrate.
