Too late! Microsoft already has an OS on Intel! What would sway the average WinTel machine user to buy a MacTel machine? The combinations I see are: -Mac Hardware Running Windows Emulation (SoftPC, or SoftWindows) -Mac Hardware Running Intel Emulation (Connectix's Virtual PC) -Mac Hardware Running 68k -Mac Hardware Running Rhapsody All kinds of cross platorm applications in between. What's my advantage to buy an Intel machine to run Rhapsody when I have a number of flavors of Windows to choose from? Of course, if it had fewer bugs than Windows 95, I may consider it. However, it may spur some thoughts from a Windows user's perspective: -Does it require DOS? -Can applications run in Windows? -Can Windows apps run in Rhapsody on Intel? I don't want Rhapsody to become another Pink, or Copeland. -Bill H.
