An unauthorized download of Apple's new Front Row software is floating around out there. Although Front Row is available only with new iMacs, the software is not copy-protected, and copies have been made.
Some users have been able to add Front Row to other Macs without any trouble, but others have experienced problems on non-iMacs after installing.
Beware. Remember that the new iMac G5 with Front Row ships with an updated version of OS X. Macs users with previous system software may experience problems with some or all of Front Row.
Still, it's encouraging to hear (and see) that Front Row can run on a Mac mini. I hope Apple will make Front Row available for other consumer machines soon.

Moving your Dock messes with muscle memory, but you'll get used to the new location after a few days.

That said, the growing number of alternatives to Word is making me wonder about the future of Word and Office for Mac.
