All the addresses are different when I run this. NSImage -[copy] copies all the way down. And given that NSData has secondary messages that explicitly mention nocopy, you can have it either way.
@Daniel: Could be worse. I'm so behind the curve in hardware, my keyboard is still ADB!
Also, wasn't MS Dev studio non-free for the longest time? Even now, express has some limitations. In which case, the difference is that we'll eventually get IB 3.0 for free*, as opposed to always being the have-nots.

*Okay, $129, most likely.
