...a Joke. I was in there last night trying to snag a Wii for my Girlfriend and while I was in there I swung by the Mac display to see the new Macbook and MB Pro. This guy was trying to sell a guy who needed Windows as well, and he told him the "only" way it can be done is by using Parallels or VMWare, and he would need to buy one of theses, and a copy of Windows. I looked up from the Macbook and said, "No you can run it in Bootcamp without a Virtual Machine Appliance program." The guy actually had NO idea what I was talking about. Then the guy told him he needed to buy Office For Mac instead of using a copy that he already had for Windows. Sigh, bad idea having these yahoos at Best Buy sell Macs.
On a side note, the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros are very nice. The trackpad takes a second to get used to but once you do it's amazing. They seemed to move pretty quickly too! I had two older Macbooks to compare them with and other than the lack of FW they destroy the older MB by comparison. FW missing would keep me from buying it for myself, but wouldn't stop me from getting it for my girlfriend.
