I do not think you were doubting him. My husband is not an insider. He has just taken consulting gigs there for the past 15 years, while it provides him with insight, believe me he would be the first to admit he does not know about much that goes on there. The reason that I want to ask his friend, is because if 8 is coming out soon, than that might indicate a problem.

Re: [scifinoir2] Blogger: Windows 8 Set for July 2011 Release
Same here. In doing job searches, I see a lot of jobs requiring Mac experience, primarily at colleges. But, with over a decade as a network admin, most of my experience has been with Windows, so I have to keep those skills up first and foremost. But, the need to learn Mac, coupled with my *desire* to learn Mac stuff, is on the agenda. Like you, it's the ducats at the moment standing in the way. I'm going to shell out a bit of dough to buy/build another desktop or two.
