I have a 300MHz Clamshell iBook with 128 MB RAM and 6GB HDD as my main Mac, but my main computer is a four-year-old Windows PC.
The Clamshell iBook runs Panther and does so quite well, as long as you don't open too many programs. I use it mainly for instant messaging and internet browsing. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's HDD is really loud, but when that shuts of, the computer is very quiet.

It even supports running with the lid closed! Also previously limited to the PowerBook line.

I think it's annoying, not because of the Video itself, but because the QuickTime plugin takes so long to load, freezing up my browser for quite a while.

There would be no legal reason for Apple to sue.
The only company that could sue about Windows on Mac is Microsoft - the xom package appears to contain a reverse-engineered "ntdetect.com" file.

I've been waiting for an HD-DVD/Blu-ray combo player. After Samsung cancelled theirs because of licensing issues, I thought this wouldn't happen. Lets see if LG actually starts shipping theirs.

HD playback is a standard feature in DVD Player 4.6 (Tiger). http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dvdplayer/

I'll wait until someone has figured out how to dual-boot Windows XP because I need to run a few programs that need to run on a native Windows.

I probably won't buy one before they include a HD-DVD/Blu-ray + DVD-Burner combo drive because I don't want to buy something that won't play any current DVD movies in a few years, but that has nothing to do with the Intel switch.

So, you read podcasts? And anyway, Steve talked about a huge iPod, not a huge Mac mini...

FAZ.net is not a tech website, it's the website of one of the biggest German newspapers.

Macs aren't much safer than Windows. They are less popular than Windows, and therefore not many virusses are coded for Mac. But now the point is: when the beta of Windows Vista came out a couple months ago, within days there were three virusses specifically for Vista. Vista is far less popular than Mac OS X. Why would anyone write a virus for an OS that only has a couple thousand copies? So maybe the OS core of Mac OS is safer?
