I had a super-crazy idea once. It remains untested, but imagine a user who uses 90% Windows software, and 10% Mac software. If that user has a REAL made by Apple Mac, why not install Windows as the primary OS, and confine OS X to the relm of virtualization? Why? Because Apple says no, as it would reduce the performance of their OS, and ruin that 'oh so special' experience. On Mar 3, 2013 1:27 PM, "Roger Eller" <[email protected]> wrote:
