One guy runs Final Cut and Photoshop. His Quicksilver 933 was staggering under his Final Cut load. The other uses Photoshop and perhaps web aps. He was able to sell his G5 for 2050 and with discounts (he's good at) he was able to get his new MacPro for about $300 I think. I think most creatives are going to wait for faster machines but I'm guessing that unless you crunch HUGE Photoshop or InDesign files these machines are so fast that factor doesn't matter.

based on the timing of the Zune leak and this from MSFT today, I think msft is watching apple and trying to thwart their thunder. But there is only so many times MSFT can cry wolf, Zune is less than thrilling and now this, today did nothing to apple. *Microsoft sees room to challenge Apple's iPod* BOSTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Tuesday it sees plenty of room for growth in the digital music player market as the company tries to dislodge Apple Computer Inc.'s (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) dominant iPod with a device of its own. yahoo.reuters.com
