Hugh;
Sadly, Its probably just another Windows catalogue that Newspapers 
distribute in the guise of a technology update. Its all the rage 
with the major (& minor) 'Papers therse days (Media Watch last week), 
to pad out the pages with fluff that isn't news. Same goes for a lot 
of those give-away rags, its just catalogue space pretending to be 
informed info.
ie: when was the last time Apple or the PowerPC chip mentioned in the
offending "technology review" & don't you think it should have been 
recently seeing as they have unquestionably lead desk-top computer 
speed race for more than the last year (the popularity race is another 
issue but it seems to be what all the reviews are about, use whats 
most popular, not the best). 

I'm boycotting ALL such (obviously biasedly-pro M$) junk & suggest 
you do also for the sake of the Mac (not to mention environmental reasons).
