This is just as an FYI sort of thing, I receive just mail solicitation for *reduced* prices on software like $55 for Adobe Suite and $50 for Office 2004. I look at them, but understanding that buying from places like this hurts us all, I've never purchased anything. The DO have listed the x86 OS of Mac OS X available for download for $45. And there's a chatroom on AOL where one of the members has it installed on his PC. So, it's out and being used already. Generally it's been reported as a positive experience. The only problems they seem to be having is with iTunes and that has not be fully explained to me. I'm certain that some of you have also heard of this? Gentlemen and Ladies, the times, they are a- changing. I see Apple as a software and hardware powerhouse starting to make a dent in the Microsoft Dominated Market. Tell me you disagree.

    This conception that "Windows" hardware is crap is completely
unjustified.

I'm wondering since when did x86 become synonymous with the Windows OSes? Just because a car has a V8 engine doesn't mean it's a Chevrolet. Please, stop confusing an OS for the hardware it's running on.
