You know. Sooner or later, these inbred systems will start populating the laptop hangouts. Have you witnessed the horror of the Sex/Power aluminum case with the ultra-utilitarianism of Windows XP in your local Starbucks and such?
I have. It was my own MacBook too

I don't think many of these people use it as their man OS. Sometimes I have to boot into it just to use one app for a couple hours.
I've told PC users that they can buy a Mac and still run Windows on it and they say that sorta defeats the purpose as they are trying to get away from the software, they don't really have issues with PC hardware. It may be bla but it works and is cheap.

Well of course they don't. You typically need a computer to run XP. A network card alone won't do it, even though it has a MAC.

That's why you put Windows in its own sandbox (Virtual Machine) to keep it form pissing on the other kids.

That's a bit of a fanboy view but thanks.

But surely within a VM, though. I mean, come on, the cool factor alone is worth 1000 points.  Windows in a window, in OS X.

I don't know if I'd ever put Windows on a Mac that I owned.

Many people here are hopelessly addicted to Parallels, myself included. Should I buy Parallels Inc. stock before their product goes for sale?

I'm helplessly addicted to Counter-Strike and Infantry.

I dunno, I think Apple or anyone else can do the same if not better.

Right.
But it's always hard to tell if n00bs (just signed up) really KNOW what they're doing...
