Small businesses needing machines that run old software. I know business owners who are switching to Macs because they can run Xp and older programs on an Apple better than a Windows machine. It is hilarious. MSFT stupidity will continue to benefit Apple and Google. The new Andriod stuff will hurt them more.
So that small business should make, gasp a Business expense, and purchase 7 ultimate or enterprise if they need XP virtualization that badly. Or like I said down load a free VM program. It really isn’t that tough of a thing to figure out.
As far as your Apple thing, how exactly is that MS’s issue? Sounds like a hardware issue, and quite a bit of over exaggeration.
