Christmas not likely. Assuming they started up industrial design when iMac came out in August, minimum of six months. In fact, I think the decision to follow up is recent (now), and the announcements are preemptive, to dissuade potential PC customers from buying iMacs because of styling, because a Wintel version will be out instead. No timeline means they have no idea when it will happen, otherwise they would have projected an overly optimistic date instead ;-) I think we will see iMac like designs showing up from PC manufacturers in about 1 year. Remember, this is probably a morph of a design that Apple has been working on for a couple of years now. Moreover, I am sure they plan to be a moving target. By the time Intel boxes come out in blue, Apple may be producing a whole rainbow of colors and options... JMO

I agree. The iMac is so popular that it has really stuck it to the PC world which has become stodgy and has lost its way recently. I think there may be a monumental attempt by a lesser PC maker to come out with their iMac copy by Christmas. For more on Intel's new revelation (the iPC?): dailynews.yahoo.com Jeff
