• Sour grapes, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Cheap is as cheap does - why Apple shouldn't port Mac OS X to today's PC hardware.
• Serious Apple server released, many skeptical, Sam Burrish, My Turn. Why Apple's Xserve is at the top of its league - and a real bargain, too.

2007

• The 2007 iMac value equation, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. A faster bus, faster CPU speeds, and a new look. Are close-out 2006 iMacs good values?
