Ready for prime time
For reasons I'm not yet going to go in to, my new laptop is a Macbook Pro.
Holy crap.
We'll see what it's like to live with, but the preliminary impression? Snow Leopard is ready for prime time.
I mean, it's not as seamless as I'd like, but it leaves Windows 7 and Ubuntu in the dirt. Indeed, it's the sort of thing you'd (ahem) pay money for.
And it doesn't seem to assume anymore that I am my granny. The new zero-button mouse is in fact an infinity button mouse, and everything seems to understand it....
Of course, Apple are famous for out-of-box. Sigh - memories of Newton. We'll see how long the honeymoon lasts this time.
