    You don't have to change an OS to add new functions. True, OSX is smoother, but you can always load extra apps to increase a systems value. I am not talking about that crappy bloat, but things like tool bars or integrated VoIP. If they write them properly, they can actually add to the value of the system, rather than just slowing it down.

    Whereas Apple can think of a cool new hardware feature and change the OS to support it

    What cool new hardware features has apple introduced that would require OS changes to replicate on a PC?

    Mighty mouse, built-in webcam, speakers, usb ports, wireless, etc would just require drivers / software.

    Maybe the new touchscreen interface for the iPhone / iPod touch would require OS changes to work? Still, drivers/software should be able to do the trick... after all, conceptually it's just mouse gestures on a touchscreen.

    Would love to hear about the NVIDIA meetings...upcoming insider article, picking up hardware to review?

    Lots of speculation and rumors about the fall refresh. Just built a decked out HTPC last night (love the Zalman case)...can't stand not having my 'main' computer my most up to date one, but I also can't see buying something that might be beaten by a much less expensive product in Nov. Any idea if the wait will be rewarded?
