I don't know the standard(s) involved but I have never had a problem. That could be because the MDI/MDIX auto-crossover hasn't penetrated the market enough. It seems like I usually see it on Broadcom based devices. In any case, I have never had an issue. My three-ish year old powerbook also has 1000bT. Apple is often ahead of the market. Or they think they are. Sometimes the market doesn't go the same direction they went (SCSI.)
