That said, I'm at a junction with Apple I think. I want to buy a decked out MacPro when the new quad cores are available. Unfortunately, a good deal of my software is still Java based and I need to be able to develop. Java 6 is really late and now, the beta has disappeared, Apple is supposedly removing discussions about it, etc, etc, etc. If Apple does end up shelving Java support I either have to move off or hope 8 cores makes parallels really usable side by side with the mac software. The situation is depressing me :( Here’s the final words from a long review: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/17
