After the usual chit-chat about the success of the retail stores and iTunes, Jobs got to the meat of the matter. He announced an FM-tuner with remote-control for the Nano/Video iPod.

No-one's mentioned windows XP yet! I wonder if XP will dual boot on the machine well. Cannot wait for the first XP benchtest on the machine compared to OSX. Exciting times ahead!

Of all the users I know a lot would love to at least try a mac but refuse to do so for two reasons:

a) that one little app that requires windows (virtualpc is unbearbly slow unless you have a very high end machine, and even then...)

b) games, games, games. I had 500$ dollars to buy a computer for my nephew this christmas. I could have got her a (use) mac mini and she certainly would have loved it. But she would have to forget about so many games...

If you can just dual boot to run that special app or that special game, that would just rock.

VPC will be pretty good for non-gaming scenarious because it will all be directly executing in x86 assembly without translation now. Probably MSFT will just port over their VPC for Windows execution engine.
