I am as conservative as anyone and we have run macs for years. This article is bunk! it cost me $9.99 after rebates for Parellels that allows me to run any Windows application and that included a copy of XP! I’m not even familiar with any colors that Apple is offering now, that stopped with the older iMacs and never cost extra though some colors had a waiting list. IMHO just another article to scare people back to what they know and just a bunch of BS!
