There'll be other news to report on it in other places but the Mac news that I found interesting is that it runs really well with Boot Camp. I used it myself on a MacBook and the performance was knock-your-socks-off incredible.Pimping is the word. I don't know where you've been, but Boot Camp is included with every OSX disc these days. So it's free.
I'll definitely be getting a copy of it for my MBPRo and integrating it to my helm for real use. Reports to follow...
The performance of Windows running on a MBP is excellent, but remember you still have to purchase a copy of windows. I have installed Windows 7 on my MBP and it's great, just remember to allow plenty of room on your hard disc drive when you install Boot Camp.
The only pain is to switch to windows you have to reboot.
On the boat windows is great for Garmins HomePort which is not available on Mac.
