Most of the early business apps that took over the market started out on the Mac. MS Excel for instance was Mac first and when it finally moved to Windows it kicked VisiCalc and Lotus1-2-3 in the balls. Word too. The Mac was originally targetted as a business appliance. But the original Apple models were popular in schools so that's where the Mac got a foothold. > Since Mac OS now runs on Intel chips dual boot is already available, > so what's news?

Much like MS officially supporting Linux now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:202859 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
