Yeah, Mac’s are more expensive. Everyone knows that fact but it’s not a tax. A tax is something you pay to the government.

More silliness from the company that has 92% of the PC OS market. Why does Microsoft care about Apple? Apple is no threat to Microsoft’s dominance and won’t be for the foreseeable future. Besides, you can run Windows on a Mac now. Maybe Microsoft should push that angle. And oh yeah, build a better version of Windows.

LOL....yep, Windows is still working on another new system.

From what I understand (I'm not a techie), this system will have many voice and touch screen features built in to the program. This means hardware upgrades.....again. I really don't care; I love the new toys.

This is true.

I have Windows XP on my Mac. Most of the time it sits in a folder like so much DNA sitting inactive, embedded in amber in that lab in Jurassic Park.

Once in a while, when the need arises, I type "{cmd-spacebar}par{return}{return}", and it comes out of suspended animation and takes over the external monitor in one of my spaces. I have it connect to the Dallas Office and run a few reports and drop them on the Mac's hard drive. Then I put it back to sleep, look over the reports, and go on about my business.
