Why can’t we all just get along? On one hand, I want a Mac to be my main computer, but on the other, I want my Thinkpad T60 running Windows XP to be my main machine. Boot Camp sucks (which is why I sold my MacBook), the power management is horrendous, the trackpad is flaky as hell and the wireless card did not support LEAP authentication. All three of these issues are deal breakers for me. The T60 is otherwise a perfect Windows machine, it is screaming fast and the battery seems to live forever. My only complaint is that the resolution only goes to 1024×768 and that hurts. Maybe Leopard will fix everything I need fixed and I can buy another MacBook, otherwise I’ll be keeping the T60.
