"We're in private betas right now" confirmed Sheridan Jones, Lead Marketing Manager for Microsoft's Mac Business Unit (MacBU), during an exclusive interview with APC magazine.

Apple to offer Blu-ray-equipped Macs by Febuary
While Sony is working feverishly to secure every Blu-ray drive it can for the PlayStation 3, sources report talks with Apple have the computer maker scheduled to receive the first Blu-ray drives for Macs in February.
Details beyond that timetable are vague at this point, including whether systems will be announced with the new drive that month, pre-announced in January for a later release, or simply be added to manufacturing for an announcement later in the first quarter. Also unknown is whether the new drive will rely on Mac OS X 10.5...

Microsoft website shows Mac and says "you’re clean"
MacDailyNews did a pretty thorough investigation to prove that Microsoft’s security site had an image of a Mac user. Their research consisted of going over to Fotosearch and finding the image that Microsoft had nabbed in order to create the banner. Upon zooming in they noticed that the computer was obviously a Mac…oops!

Is a 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon?
According to the article, the new advertising, increased functionality of OSX, and Intel-based machines are all raising the profile of Apple's machines to new heights.
"However, this cycle isn't your usual processor upgrade cycle that comes every time Intel or Advanced Micro Devices tweaks a process. This is a major shift that affects all parts of the Mac customer-developer-vendor ecology. Longtime Apple watchers can count two earlier events of similar magnitude.
