And Apple this a disclaimer on its site:

Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That

be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be
sure to
keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes."
That's for ignorant macintosh users who've never been exposed to the
Window's trauma of
viruses and pop-up ads extraordinary.
I will also note consumer reports rates apple #1 by a huge percentage
over #2 for hardware
quality & support. So buying a nice mac and *only* running XP or
Vista someday on it wouldn't be
a stupid decision just in order to get nice looking and superb
performing hardware.
Still I have to wonder if you buy a XP CD who does the support for
you? Usually isn't that covered by
the poor hardware vendor?
PS I keep getting whacked by the fact that consumer reports also says
mercedes ranked mucho last
in problems with their cars. Although I point out that a friend
bought a used 2002 C320? wagon which
he still feels after two months of usage the finest automobile he has
driven even compared to every 2006/2007
wagon/crossover vehicle he could get his hands on.
