you misunderstand!
the vaio shouldn't run macos. ever. it's just not an apple mac! it's technically very good, way ahead on the gadgetery, but the aesthetics let it down - it's just not very ergonomic - the powerbooks at the moment look so clean, because it was an ethic to keep it clean - no doors, flaps, or hooks to catch on something. the bottom is perfectly smooth, as is the top.
what i was saying was not a mac/xp war, just that the technology of the pBooks market rivals is leaving them for dust - when the g4 powerbooks came out, they were revolutionary! noone had seen any laptop this thin or small, so smooth and just very high quality. full of the latest technology and designed with everything in mind. even more so with the g3 powerbook (wallstreets?). sh*t, that was so revolutionary, intel laptops were copying the design almost shamelessly for about 6/7 years!
and now, the powerbooks look tired. a design that's been out longer than any other apple hardware at the moment. the technology is there to be innovative again, in the way apple is known so well for, they just need to unleash the new powerbooks. that vaio i used just as an example of what the rivals are doing, and that it's making the pbooks look stupid. i want a laptop, but i'll be damned if i buy a current powerbook.... too expensive for a 5 year old laptop.
