A pared-back version of the OS is now slated to appear in 2006 - or 2007 at the very latest. Meanwhile, the feel-good factor surrounding Apple is tangible at the moment. It has a strong hardware offering, including the bare-bones entry-level Mac Mini, and a mature digital lifestyle software suite in iLife 05." More.
