Last I heard there are no updated Bootcamp drivers for the Retina Macbook
yet, so I suspect the OpenGL performance is poor for the time being.

That said, I've read evidence that Windows still sees the full resolution
and I'm sure it looks quite nice, though I wonder if the menus appear small
since much of the UI consists of bitmaps. On another note, the GPU is
Nvidia so it shouldn't act funny like an ATI under XSI.

So pricy though, damn! Here in Canada, getting the 16GB RAM model with
512GB SSD is $3,029, plus tax! Considering the cost, I've been eyeing this
other beast:

You can go quite nuts customizing it with insane specs that (screen-aside)
put the Retina to shame and it's still under $3k. Definitely not as thin
though, hehe.

Decisions, decisions.....
