I would have thought getting TWO processors for the price of one was "kewl,"
Dual core processors abound. The "for the price of one" is because
the two cores share a lot - only 2 MB cache, lower bandwidth, etc.
And really, not VISTA compatible?? what's the harm there?
There's a great deal of harm. First of all, I think Apple would say
that Microsoft should have "first dibs" on making (either via
Virtual PC or some other way) a "bridge" to Windows Vista. Second,
you don't actually know that it isn't Vista compatible. Nobody's
tried.
Currently Windows cannot be booted onto the new x86 Macs. Windows
requires BIOS. The Macs are EFI-based. MS has stated that an
EFI-compatible Vista will be released eventually. That version will
boot on the x86 Macs.
