Carrier: Ok, part of the nice thing about not having a Mac is choice, but you have to use that choice carefully. Tosh laptop? Not good, I agree. I feel for you.
FerryPilotDK: 13.634 versions of Vista - yes, and everyone of them runs the latest Java Virtual Machine (unlike Leopard) and guess what - I can CHOOSE which JVM I want on my computer :-) so even if Mr Jobs has not got around to doing Java 6 for Leopard, never mind at least it would be nice if I could choose another JVM from another supplier - and it wuold be nice if they all work first time, just like non Microsoft JVMs do on Windows.
I admit that sometimes you just want something to work and have no decisions to take - that formula (although it only sometomes applies to a Mac) is in my opinion not so good in the world of IT where so much changes so rapidly.
