Disappointment....



I have approval's stamped from other half to go buy a MacBook Pro. the VAT dropped today by 2.5% so a little money off...and we are coming to the christmas time with a little RnR....perfect sometime to spent getting everything sorted out/moved across and some much needed time editing photo's ....except i read the following report : http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/29/nvidia-heat-causing-macbooks

Bugger. Probably wait till Jan09 before i invest in a Mac (just the pain of moving stuff onto new platform - getting photoshop moved etc) i don't want to move twice if they update the video chipset as it looks like a h/w swap!

Hmm, very interesting. Wonder how long before they use up inventories of the B2 chip? Might want to wait a bit to make sure you get the new one!

BTW, can you just move Photoshop from Windows to Mac without having to repurchase some sort of license? Not sure how Adobe handles this? Time enough to figure it out though!

According to some mac users in office apple seem to be very good at sorting out problems and recalls.

Mmmhh. Adobe use FLEX to manage their license keys! Adobe's policy is to charge you for a "platform upgrade" so WIN-> MAC or MAC -> WIN. So i have to hand over £160 for CS4! ....or i might by VMWARE's fusion for £40 and run photoshop in a virtulised world. Just gotta find out how Adobe bind the license keys on the PC....
