Now they really just need a good "low end" Mac Pro

I'm not much of a gamer, but I suspect that an iMac would make for a pretty good LAN party box, at least from a form-factor perspective. Toss the keyboard, mouse, and cables in your backpack, and carry the iMac with you. The only question is whether the iMac will have state-of-the-art GPUs, rather than its current emphasis on low power.

I hate to say it, but it's like Leopard got hit by the Vista ugly stick.

The CoverFlow thing for documents has a strong resemblance to Aero's task switcher. Amusing thought: given that Vista Aero has been shown to chew up more power (a non-trivial issue on laptops), the question is whether Apple's system has similar issues.
