Apple posted a Leopard guided tour video, in the same format as the earlier iPhone and iPod Touch guided tours. It mentions the new Finder, stacks, Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, and so on. In Quicktime, of course.

I second you on that one. I have here at the office an HP Compaq nx9420 and I am on my third one right now. The first one has a total disk failure, the 2nd one has keys not properly tacked down and heres hoping the 3rd one don't die on me. I kinda wish my company bought Macs, but the MS IT engineers will protest on that one for sure.

This is the big dirty secret. Imagine your company went 100% Mac - you wouldn't need as many IT people - people could fix their own problems without the need of having the IT person on site all the time.
This is the same battle which Linux/Solaris is fighting on the server space. If you can purchase a server loaded with Solaris and consolidate several Windows servers into a single Solaris one - would the company need as many IT people? Its basically job preservation strategy - nothing to do with using the best technology; everything to do with making sure that they keep the infrastructure in place which justifies their employment.
That is the problem. Lets not get started with the number of pointless applications within organisations; Sharepoint anyone? using exchange purely for a mail server?

MBP have been out of stock (as in not immediatly available) for months, it's not because a new modell is coming (there was a rumor for october I think but may have been november aswell, november got an update both 2006 and 2005 but january seems more likely if one look at intels cpu plans) but rather because they can't produce enough / lack parts (lcd displays?)

That is probably the most likely scenario. Looking in retrospect, I don't think I really needed a MacBook Pro - sure, it might have given me a ego boost but when I ask my self "do I really need all the power and expandability which MacBook Pro provides" - the answer is no.

I was going to purchase a MacBook Pro but retailers within NZ have been experiencing difficulty sourcing them - so that might be a message that it could be updated soon as Leopard is released.
What are you intending to use the laptop for, I've found to my surprise that the Macbook is more than sufficient for everything I need - in some cases I think even this might be an over kill - but how can someone turn down a sexy black laptop
Side note, compared to my HP laptop, this computer is built extremely robust - everything seems to be built and assembled with some effort to detail vs what I saw with HP; flimsy plastic, parts not properly tacked down etc. etc.
