Thats cool. As far as I'm concerned there is no reason not to buy a Mac now, and when Windows is installed it'll run Windows games.

I still prefer PC hardware though, not to mention there cheaper. Macs are now truly universal computers that will run almost anything. I wonder if you can run Linux off the Windows now.?

Isn't Mac onboard with the DRM crap? They're implementing the Fritz chip and DRM protocols similar to VISTA, no?

Yes, you can run linux in a virtual PC on a MAC. I've done that before.

I can just picture it, you buy a sleek sexy EXPENSIVE Mac Pro, your using it, you have a stiffy just looking at the beauty of it, your constantly on it then BLUE SCREEN!!! OMFG MY EXPENSIVE MAC!!!

Damn you guys should be arrested for doing that to that beautiful mac-a-machine, the beauty of Mac's is Mac OSX in my opinion, if god was an OS it would be Mac OSX.

Personally,I think the PPC structure is the selling point for me. By far the most powerful setup....too bad the whole intel thing happened. Although the one section that intel will improve on is in the notebooks.

It's early to tell yet,but the desktops might lose alot of people. The switch from power to speed...when you think about what most Mac users actually use the machines for...speed isn't one of them.

The only saving point is when the conroe's settle down and they use them.....other than that x86 doesn't belong in a Mac. [just my opinion though]

Hello HaloHackerX

Look's good, and very interesting, i like to try things out like that as well sometimes, like when i wanted to try dual booting and have two O.S s on the same machine, but when i told other's about this idea they could not understand why i wanted to do that, kinda like just wanting to see of it can be done, although i did not realise that it can be a lot of hard work ha ha, having to install every single app/prog twice, but nether the less, great fun and also ? the learning curve :-D

You can have two OS's easily now days....whether it's windows and linux or even two instances of windows. Most linux distros come with bootloaders like Lilo or Grub that will install themselves ready configured. To put 2 windowsXP installs...just make sure that they're on different hard drives. Other wise they'll fight over who's the boss and the control of the C Drive.
