No MacBooks have Santa Rosa; the November 2007 revision only adds Crestline-GM.

Because they're idiots. Santa Rosa is a platform requiring a Core 2 Duo CPU, 965 (Crestline) chipset, and Intel 3945 (Kedron) wifi; the MacBook has the first two, but not the latter.

You can also tell looking at the box, btw:
If the MacBook on the box has the Leopard "Aurora" desktop and the new Dock, it's the Crestline revision.

Because it IS Santa Rosa - most of it.
Technically, it's "the new notebooks using the Santa Rosa platform's Crestline chipset and Core 2 Duo processors".
Is this a case of "idiots", or just a case of "who gives a ****?"
You decide.
