Don't be suckered by the "misery loves company" PC crowd.

If I want to interact with the Windows world, I've got MacLinkPlus, a dynamite translating engine. Granted, I've also got MS Office for Mac, but if I didn't, I could still translate docs and graphics into other formats I could read.

Further, I've got Virtual PC, a Wintel software emulator. I can run ANY Windows program on my Mac. Graphics-heavy programs are admittedly a bit slow, but it's really not a concern for me.

PCs are completely incapable of running a "Virtual Mac" because of the inherent inferiority of their chip architecture. That's why their "Pseudo Mac" OS, Windows consumes so much more code to perform similar functions.

And PCs are ugly.

Cool.

Has anybody ever thought and wondered for a moment, why you need a "Wintel" software emulator for your Mac, but yet, nobody ever seems to need a "Mac" emulator for their PC.

FWIW
