Take this with a suitably sized grain of salt.

Aside from this probably never happening, Apple never said they'd prohibit the installation of Windows on a Mac. They just said they wouldn't assist in it, but if someone wanted to do it, they could try to figure it out on their own.

This probably won't happen, but it would be nice.

I've always had a Windows and Apple box on my desk, so I'd pay $129 for a supported pre-installation.

It wont happen... if they did this, Apple would have to support Windows.. and would have to deal with thousands of problems from Mac users who are having trouble with a windows driver, or some other crap
