I can finally take Windows off of my MacBook. This is awesome. Now they only need to make a build for linux along with Desktop Manager for Linux and I'll be set.

Now, the tricky part is moving my JDE keys....

Actually figured out it's really easy. Just import the existing keys from the plugins folder inside of Eclipse from the old system.

No OS X simulator though. They require you to test and debug using a Blackberry Torch... Don't go killing off your Windows environment just yet.
