For SD this is true, but I'd like to see your emac go through 1080p 30fps footage.

While I am using windows 7 I believe the same is true for vista. Everything i've ever plugged into my PC has 'just worked' Drivers if necessary install quickly without any user action...

I will also add that native h264 editing is possible

I've love the new version. Its amazing editing native footage; I love it.
