Indeed, if we were to outline the MAJOR and some minor differences(hardware support, etc etc.) then the press people could effectivly utilize that data and make it sound spiffy. It just sounds crappy when some journalist who has no clue what they're talking about starts making stuff up. I think it important to outline the major differences so even in the event of(a contingent plan!) some dumb journalist it doesn't wreck the whole image thing going on.
I believe the article I read was something about iMacs and the coulumnist said "unlink all macs before it the iMac has no boot ROM....". Now, pulling that off would be a trick :-)
thnx.
