Agreed. So far I have been successful in not purchasing any Intel based machines. I purchased a bunch of PPC machines last January which have been adequate so far. I have resisted Intel machines until know specifically due to Office, and Entourage in particulars, performance. However, my CEO is drooling over the new laptops and I'm not sure how much longer I will be able convince him that it is not a good idea to get one. The first time he tries to launch Entourage with its current slowness on such a machine will be the last time he, and the rest of the company, uses the program. I realize that the MBU is going through a major rewrite of code but in the meantime you will be loosing customers. I fear that if you wait until fall '07 (that is the current plan isn't it) that you will have lost a significant number of users as they find other alternatives, not just to Entourage but the entire Office suite.
