   Score! Handy dandy if you ask me. This is one of those items that may actually be worth running in your tray taking up system resources. –Thanks for sharing!

   Ooooooh, well if my wife was running a Mac then I’d be a happy camper. But to be honest I picked up her laptop for $450 (Core Solo 2.0) and had her run XP since she knows it.

   I was going to interject the same thing. With OSX even back a few versions it’s right out of the box. But I suppose if M$ thought of everything then they’d be considered a monopoly, oh wait they already are.

   It’s ironic, I use M$ exchange at work, a smart phone with windows mobile embedded OS and an XP based workstation for doing business (seemingly important).

   Then when I come home and do dumb shit like check emails and surf educational websites I get to use Apple hardware/software that easily leaves M$ in the dust both in simplicity and functionality.

   OMG, Sol posted. I think OSX does a great job of making things simple while still aesthetically pleasing, and maybe with my next system upgrade I would consider moving my wife to an Apple.

   I still think that the best thing for Apple to do, is to release a “non-official” or limited support version of OSX for all Wintel systems. The benefit to this is it’s not that difficult to get working and people will be able stick with their current hardware. After all the biggest argument made by Macheads is that they can support specific hardware with the current system, whereas there would be driver hell if they allowed it to work on all Intel based systems.

   I’d go for it over Linux for my wife.

   Yeh my plane was running late and I had a few seconds up my sleeve for once. Its nice to reminiscent on the old days every so often.

   The good thing about being a Mac user is you don’t have to be a Machead to use one, and I guess that’s the appeal with the new duel core systems.

   A mate of mine has plenty of time on his hands, so he runs Linux, Windows V and OSX simultaneously using parallels. Its quite fantastic and I had WOW playing on the Mac OSX and some nasty quake action on XP at the same time.

   Linux was pretty boring, I think he had it there for when he had to demonstrate that he was indeed a geek still.

   So yeh Mac is now a vehicle for running whatever OS you like, so ends the Mac OSX V Windows war - use them both.
