I know a lot of anti-apple people who in the past few years (since Jaguar) have changed their views, simply because of the way OS X is now. Try one of those new iBooks...and spend some time if possible. You may like the operating system.

iBooks are very solid, durable machines that wont burn a hole through your wallet. And no, without pretty clunky emulation software (Virtual PC), you cannot run Windows XP on it.

Macs are made for more of a office type of work. And a lotttttttt lesssssss bugs and worms. Thats why most of the offices uses them.

 

[bla!!]

Why would you want to load XP on mac hardware? It's optimized for Mac OS's.

Plus, one of the major beneifts of having a mac is that you aren't targeted for viruses/spyware as much as with Windows. Not to mention many other benefits (Unix core, increased security, web server apps included with OSX etc...)

Thing is, you cant load Windows onto a Mac. Windows isnt compatable with the PowerPC architecture, thats why you need emulation software.

I find it funny that when Apple does not make the OS, everyone seems to like it (including me)
