Would MAC users really want to run WinXP?

I thought the whole point was that they were in love with the MAC OS?

Well, there are those who LOVE Macs, and those who simply prefer using them to other options. It's the best of both worlds for folks who like the Mac OS but have business or gaming programs that are PC-only.

Plus it's the only machine in the world that boots Mac OS, Linus, and Windows native. That's gonna net some kudos in the geeksphere. ;)

Exactly. Dual boot, triple boot, blah, blah, blah...the operative words here are boot. Why would I want to reboot to run anouther O/S to support some perticular software? You would think that the idea would be to have a single O/S that runs any software transparently regardless of the intended O/S. Unix - Irix preferred
