I've had my iMac for a week now, and i gotta say I really like it. It's simple, beautiful etc. The best thing is when my buddies come over and ask me "wheres the computer?". Pc guys just won't get it that it's all "in the display"
But as always I have some things I hope will be dealt with in the future:
1. No ac3 passthrough for QuickTime or FrontRow, meaning that I can't get 6 channel audio to my amplifier. That's a big minus, cause I can't use FrontRow to watch movies/series with 5.1 audio. I have to use VLC for that. (and VLC tends to freeze my iMac sometimes when passing ac3-audio to amp). And yes, QuickTime can play ac3 files, but it downmixes audio to stereo.
2. OpenGL-support for Diablo 2 . I know it's not Apples fault (I think it's Blizzards fault) but it would be nice to get that too, software acceleration is not to my liking.
I did have something else in mind too, but I'm too tired to remeber it now...
