>>I agree with most of what you say, but I still feel that no windoze users are going to "switch" and purchase a (curently hypothetical) Apple computer that "probably runs windoze natively," or that runs a windoze emulation (read "slow").<< Dan - I wasn't suggesting that Apple should market a computer by saying that it will "probably run Windows". What I said was that they could make a box that would run OS X beautifully, and have a custom install with custom drivers that would make Windows install and run just as beautifully on the same box. Even if Windows were running inside of OS X in some kind of emulation mode, there's no reason to assume that it would be slow f the computer is based on a x86 CPU. I'd like a box that could do both. Or all three. Boot to OS X, boot directly to Windows, or boot to OS X first then run Windows inside of it. Then there would be a lot of reasons to by a Mac and not as many to buy a Dell or Compaq. - Allen
