Er, what? What is your basis for any comparison to Windows based on the information quoted from www.xler8yourmac.com? And has there been any benchmarking comparing OS X Finale to Windows Finale? I'm not a Mac user, but it seems to me that from what I've heard y'all complaining about, Windows is going to win hands down. > > > >[...] > > > >>They run Windows fine.

Folks don't seem to be paying attention to the things posted on this list, because I posted a couple of days ago a quote from an Apple spokesman that answers this question: http://news.com.com/2100-7341_3-5733756.html After Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that." However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that" seems pretty definitive to me. -- David W.
