<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.> If they could do that, they might have a shot at the big time. I am sure that it would have to be more expensive than a comparable wintel-only box, though. So the actual price differential would be critical. Remember, there wuld have to be some proprietary hardware that the cloners couldn't steal and that would give the OSX side a distinct advantage over the wintel side. I'm sure long time Apple users would jump at such a box and pay a pretty penny for it. I am not sure that windoze users would want to pay much for this advantage, however. Finally, is it really possible to design such a box? I hope we hear from the technophiles on this subject. Dan
