How 'bout this little quote from the article:
It does, however, mean that in theory, with the help of a conversion kit that someone will surely write, a Mac could run Windows.

Pinging for Apples
I'm gonna wait another year and let them work out the kinks, then replace my G4 Powerbook with one of these beauties.
"It does, however, mean that in theory, with the help of a conversion kit that someone will surely write, a Mac could run Windows."
Makes perfect sense considering that Microsoft is the majority stakeholder in Apple.
It's interesting that nobody points out the most important difference between the Macbook pro and its predecessor.
The Macbook uses a dual processor setup which means that if you're working on something, say loading up email or a giant iphoto library - you'll still be able to browse the web or do other things with a very minimal speed penalty. Right now, my brand new 17" PowerBook G4 tends to stall when doing something CPU-intensive.
This means the Macbook will lead to a truly revolutionary improvement in productivity for someone who likes doing a lot of things at the same time, like me. If you liked the dual processor G5 PowerMac, you'll love the MacBook Pro.
I plan to buy one as soon as they come up with a 17" version (love that display!)

My wife's G3 iMac is going dead. She asked, "Do you want to replace your G4 Powerbook with a new one, and I'll take your old one?"
I said, "No. Not yet."
She fainted.
