I don't know where you have been but the Mac is the only platform available today that can run Unix, Linux, Macintosh, AND Windows software...Of course, that's because the Mac isn't a proprietary platform using proprietary components, because the core of the Mac OS is Linux. Welcome to the PC world that's existed since the IBM PC Jr. was invented using a core platform that's existed far longer.

Are you implying that Windows is the core platform? Or are you talking about the base 8088?
