Oh, Dear GOD!

Windows is the PROBLEM, not the solution!

Don't really think this is breaking news....

AAPL up 3.59 on this news.

I'd be happier, but in my experience, Apple hardware quality is going to hell in a handbasket. Between the product itself, and the snarky attitude I'm getting from Apple techs when trying to deal with it, I'm looking outside of Apple for the first time in a while!

So does this mean heterosexuals can now safely use a Mac?

Not sure why you would want to ruin a perfectly good Mac by putting Microsuck XPee on it. That's like introducing a cow with Mad Cow Disease to your herd of cattle.

Even bigger:

http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/>www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/

It’s here! Parallels is proud to launch the Beta program the first virtualization solution specifically designed to work with Intel-powered Apple computers! Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta for Mac OS X is NOT simply a "dual-boot" solution; rather, it empowers users the ability to use Windows, Linux and any other operating system at the same time as Mac OS X, enabling users to enjoy the comfort of their Mac OS X desktop while still being able to use critical applications from other OSes.

Their workstation price is $50 for Linux/Windows, so it's not unreasonble to think it will be the same for Macs.

I can't wait to buy my next Mac with dual-boot Vista! I prefer OSX, but can't ignore the fact that many applications are Windows-only.

To those who say Macs are too expensive, you are not figuring in the fact that Dell, et.al. heavily advertise stripped-down boxes that set the low-price figure in the consumer mind. When you actually configure a Dell box with what a Mac has standard, the price is about the same.

I do wish Apple would beef up their graphics card selection; it seems the PC world has eclipsed them for some time despite Apple's reputation as a "graphics" computer.

This is faster than I predicted. I thought it might take until summer.
