Now that there's a way to boot Windows on a MacIntel machine, I think my last excuses not to switch to a MacBook are running out. However I'm not partial to a 15" display so I'm inclined to wait a bit longer to see if a 17" MacBook Pro will manifest by the WWDC.

The PowerBook will still remain my primary development and test machine. Having a slower machine means that I'm constantly optimising for the best experience on the lowest common denomination system. While there may be people with systems slower than a 800Mhz G4 Powerbook, I'm pretty confident that I'm at the slower end of the curve. And even then, Vienna runs pretty well.

Incidentally, version 2.0.3 is due out shortly. And early May will bring the first beta release of 2.1. Keep an eye on the site for the news.

(And why do I need Windows? Three reasons - Half Life 2, Quake 4 and Doom 3).
