I relish the thought of everything you say being true. I would
DEFINITELY buy a new Mac that could dual-boot both OSes natively
-- the best of both worlds.

I don't think I could live without my weekly "Windows Update"
security and bug fix.

It's an embarrassing addiction.

Apple is gonna make sure you can install Windows on these
Intel Macs. The company is acting like they won't be the one
to sell it to you, tho. But you won't be able to install OS X
on your non-Apple Intel boxes.

I guess Microsoft's purchase of and crappy ugrades to Virtual
PC won't be going much further.

I think it's a very smart move on Jobs' part. You wanna run
Windows? No problem. Buy a Mac.

Some people believe that Jobs wants people to compare both
OS's on the same machine, cuz of Jobs' belief that OS X will
be considerably better and faster than whatever Gates'
Longhorn finally ends up being released next year. Kinda
ballsey, eh?

It'll also be interesting to watch the hacker world try to
make OS X load and work on a standard PC. In this game of cops
and robbers, will the hackers be smarter than whatever Apple
comes up with to prevent it??
