I DEFINITELY do hate the name... perhaps because I have been attached to 3 previous powerbooks...

anyway.. perhaps there is a good reason for the name change

maybe it will help more people to understand what they are buying when they buy a mac (i do know several people that have come to me to ask whether they should go with an ibook or a powerbook-- unable to weigh the features for themselves) i suspect that the new naming/branding convention might be a step toward helping the population of potential consumers understand and decide on the brand.

just a guess though..

I think the WinBook analogy is spot on !! however, we should remember that it's not really the name that makes PCs suck.. it's that they do.
I mean.. if I could pick between a WinBook and a MacBook , I'd take the MacBook. :-)
