Yeah, like I said, something similar to Wine, but embedded in the OS.
Will i be able to play San Andreas?
If my information isn't total BS, yes........ no guarantees that it isn't total BS though!
Jeez? I have to go to work, no computers.... This should be an interesting keynote too.

Damn though, Jobs is just slamming on Redmond!

I thought it was funny the whole "start your photocopiers" thing came right before he announces the new backup system - which seems remarkably similar to XPs 'system restore' . It automatically tracks changes in your setup , what you installed etc. then you look at a 'timeline' or on XP a calendar , and pick what day you want to roll-back to. well 'roll back' is what it's called on xp, I guess it will be called something else now steve has invented it.
