Today, 00:00 CET, Vista will be on sale here in The Netherlands; some computer shops will even be open tonight to cater to the early adopters. In all honesty, I do not think we will see Windows 95-like craziness, but still, I think a simple poll is in order. What is the feature in Windows Vista you have been looking forward to the most?

Really! Now that's an idea....a $399 mini just to spit in the face of MS. Not sure Apple would profit from that, but, hey....they can consider it their money-losing console equivalent.
Sometimes you have to spend money to make money....
I would say, however, that at this precent time, $399 can net you a decent PPC mac, or maybe a used, and stripped, core-solo macintel from ebay.

More realistically, they would have to price it at the upgrade version to sound credible - that's $259. Heading into very serious and (to Apple) damaging "low build quality" territory there.
At $399 it could still be a nice gimmick (although still at a rather low build quality, probably)

Eh? Tell me where that shop is, the cheapest Mac I could find would be the Mac mini, *starting* at $599. I'd get 1GB of Ram with that too, so that makes $674.00. And if you want the 1,83Ghz Core due with superdrive (DVD writer instead of DVDRom/RW) with 1GB of ram, it's $874.00.
Which isn't bad, but not quite $500.
If I was Apple, I'd drop the price of a Mac Mini to the exact price of Windows Vista Ultimate, if only to taunt Steve Ballmer. Oops, that's my evil side coming out again
