duh.. the claim in the link is made by Daniel
the forums are full of dissatisfied canon owners
bc you claim to visit the fred miranda forums, check it for yourself, i bet you already have but you are in denial, in the nikon forums are many posts of both pros and amateurs making the switch cause of canon's focus issues, but yet in the canon forum in the thread "why do you shoot canon" not one person switched to canon cause of better AF on canon, they only shoot canon cause of the use to be cheaper prices, buy cheap and get cheap

Forums are often full of people who have a reason to complain. Often a few percent of users of any product are unhappy and complain on forums. Of the rest of the happy owners, who posts saying "wow my product is great"? When buying products, read reviews, not just forums. And if you are spending a lot of money and can't decide between a few products then try them out, borrow or rent!
henry42, I suggest you stop offering advice until you have at least tried a 5DII out and can vouch that it's AF is good or poor. I have used one and found its AF to be perfectly fine, although it wasn't a match for my 1DII but I didn't expect it to be.
I havent used a D700 but it can't be as much better (than the 5D) as you are suggesting unless it was able to read your mind and focus in infinitesimal time!
