Apple is in the middle of releasing new products at its WWDC 2006 conference as I type this post!

New Products so far:
------------
- Mac Pro $2500
- New Xserves

Both sport new woodcrest Intel processors

Go to http://www.macrumorslive.com/web/ to read the announcements live as the keynote continues!

I'm drooling as we speak. All over my keyboard.
$2500 works out at around £1310 so a couple of months solid work and I'll be getting me a Mac Pro.

$2500 for that seems awfully high given the components. Bah, that's why I'll probably never buy Apple. They overcharge like crazy.

It is overpriced.  I built the same damn thing with opterons, 500 gig harddrive, 4 gig of ram, nvidia 7800GTX, two optical drives, and a 19 inch display for the same price.

Nah, its not the same. The shit you built won't run Mac OS (very easily). I've lost all fatih in Microsoft. I've had no problems with Mac OS (and yes, I use my computer for more than web browsing and word processing, I use it for professional uses and more).

nice job, except I didnt mention a damn thing about OS's.  Especially since I hate the living hellout of MS.

Plus, OS X tiger is priced at $129, does that justify the price discrepancy between the computer I built and a comparable outfitted Mac Pro (which is much more than $129?

If I wanted Mac OSX id run Virtual PC.  It might be more cost effecient than buying a mac.

I'd sell my soul for a Mac Pro.  I'm stuck with a mac mini at the moment and while it's better than a windows pc I'm craving power.

Tybalt, when was the last time you actually USED a recent "windows" PC?

Windows XP doesn't suck that much, I almost never have problems from it. Linux doesn't suck either, I use it quite a bit too. Mac fanatics need to quit labeling PCs as "windows-only" and quit pretending XP is identical to 95/98/ME.

Except for the linux part.  They've had stuff for years that apple and microsoft have recently started/are in the process of implementing.  Assuming, of course, Pc = windows, because god forbid you run something other than windows on pc hardware.
