Very interesting, I hope he got permission to post the pictures. I recall another employee showing the arrival of, I think G5's at the MBU and posted pics on his blog/site and got fired for doing so.


Nice to see lots of Intel iMacs lol. Guess they are in the build lab which is being transitioned as he says, and no doubt MS is a little touchy on what they are up to (sitting with their feet up wondering how they can screw more money out of mac users for a Uni build of Office, or whether to actually start recoding Virtual PC, or not bother as Parallels has beaten them to the punch)

Surely it's a good thing, shows some commitment to ongoing Mac development and testing.
We had a pretty large Mac lab set up back in the old days at 4-Sight but that really is quite impressive especially the Mac minis! The newest machines then were the G4s but we had hundreds of setups all the way through the range...
And the 50 on a screen at once through Apple remote software looked interesting...
