My bad - it was OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle - I managed to confuse myself along the way
You're lucky ... I only got Omnioutliner

So this is a reseller program or a developer program - what sort of licensing comes with the software?
It's possible that it is a artefact from an earlier migration. I dont think I've done a totally clean install since 10.1You're lucky ... I only got Omnioutliner

Is it just me, or does that beat a MAC?
It's just you.Is it just me, or does that beat a MAC?
It's been done. Google for it.
Oh, and I see it has WinXP Home ... stay away!! If you are used to Professional, you might find yourself wondering where certain things are (can't remember exactly what) just to realise it is not in XP Home
Home and Pro are virtually the same. The only major difference would
be harddisk encryption. However you shouldn't be using that anyhow,
there are apps like TrueCrypt which are superior. Use Home on Desktop
(with Adobe Premiere) and Pro on laptop and I see no differences.

Not it doesn't beat a Mac because MBPs use Core 2 Duo Processors
which are faster/use less power than the AMD equivalents.
Also not sure about the GPU, the MBP may have a faster one,
plus obviously the HP uses Windoze not OSX.
Still it all depends on what you want to do with a PC.
If you just want to play games, use MS OFFICE, internet,
email and watch DVDs, a MBP is not necessary. Windoze
XP can chug along doing that. If you want to
edit video or photos on it OS X is your answer.
I think Home doesn't have remote desktop server either, no major difference though.
Probably. However if you don't use that feature, why waste the $?
XP Pro and Home use the same 32 bit Windows NT architecture.
That's the main benefit. The only reason I have Pro on my laptop
is that it came OEM'd with it from Acer
. I would neverhave ordered Pro on purpose

Fair comments. But for the price, it is more than R1000 less than the entry -level macBook and like half the price of a macbook pro...

Nope, neither ... this is a Business Solution Partner. Not too sure about the exact licenses, but for instance we get 100 Office 2007 licenses, to name but one

right, no one orders Windoze on purpose...
ok, so its in the wholesale support channel not retail. So its not really relevant when it comes to man-in-the-street prices.

I take it it its the R12500 one advertised on ZA Store. I'd buy it in a shot provided its not damaged.....and all the cd's are intact.
