>>The problem is the demand isn't coming from Windows users wanting Mac hardware, it's coming from Mac users needing to run Windows. This is a giant white flag from Apple. They've surrendered, and are content with their 3% marketshare. Which may be a smart plan, in the long run.<< WLD - I disagree completely. Yes, there is demand from some Mac users who also want to be able to run Windows. But I think the opposite is true as well. I have seen plenty of posts online in various forums from PC users saying that they would like to have a Mac, but they have to also run Windows for various reasons. They don't want to pay for two computers, so up to now they've had no choice but to stick with PCs. These people are going to love this solution. I also disagree that this is a white flag. It's a Trojan Horse, if anything. Solutions for running DOS and then Windows have been around almost as long as Apple computers have. Don't forget the company used to sell computers with pre-installed Intel boards in the '80s. That wasn't an indication the company was giving up on its own OS. If they were content with 3% market share, why would they do something to broaden the appeal of their computers? - Allen
