Perhaps Its Time To Buy A Mac

Perhaps it's time for me to start seriously considering a Mac. Every objection I've ever had to purchasing a Mac seems to have vanished in the past 2 days as Steve Jobs has announced several new features that will be in Mac OS X Leopard.

 Safari Web Browser for Windows. Wow. Apple plans to use iTunes downloads as a trojan horse for installing Safari on Windows, and with 1 Million downloads of iTunes per day I think they have a good chance of increasing market share.

Did Steve also point out that Safari is faster than IE and Firefox? Watchout!

 Parallels and VMWare will both support virtualization for running Windows apps on Mac.

 One product. One price. (Here's a subtle parody at Vista's multiple versions).

 But the real deal closer? Electronic Arts will launch Tiger Woods PGA Tour '08 for Mac. I'm sold... ;-)

I got a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago and am extremely happy with it -- and Vista works as well as it does on any machine if you're using Boot Camp, and just fine with Parallels.

I think it should be pretty much the standard purchase for web-based developers, as once you throw on virtualization you can run OS X, Windows, and Linux on the same hardware.
