[QUOTE="flilow06, post: 404386, member: 27617"] To piggyback on what Brown already said. One of the greatest things I've found about Macs is that even machines that are four or five years old can still run the latest OS. Try installing Vista onto a Pentium III with 256mb of ram... The MBP's that will be released in June (huge assumption, but I think we're all fairly certain at this point) will run Leopard equally well as the ones that are released with Leopard. In fact, I think those MBP's will still be the same models. I don't think we'll see any new updates to the MBP's hardware-wise until December probably (again an assumption).
