    Just got it for a nice €89 thanks to being a student! RsyncX'ing my old drive just so i have a back up should it be god damn awful! But knowing Macintosh it won't be! You're all so pessimistic about a new revision of the OS, its god slow this, dog slow that.
    Running windows XP on less than a gig of ram in my opinion is never a good idea, it will work fine, but install mysql and eclipse and whatever else you use and it turns to a dog.
    My 12in ibook G4 runs fine with 512Mb of ram! and i expect it always will. A little optimization should be expected from a unix based os. Anyone can use SwapCop to speed there system a little. And check the current running applications using top on the command line. Plus old installs get fragmented and the only way to fix is to copy everything off and then back on again, easy to do with RsyncX and a external firewire drive.
    Plus if you go out and buy an ibook what are you expect? the deep blue supercomputer in a nice white case???
    This is coming from a guy with a 2.8Ghz windows xp machines with 1Gb of DDR400 (twin channel), a 1Ghz ibook G4 (512Mb of pc2100 and 30Gb harddrive) and a nice Dell latitude CPi (366Mhz, 128Mb of ram running W2K)

    All i can say is patience is a virtue...
