Re: Mac running Windows XP operating system

Thus, the only people who are going to care are those who need windows,

waiting for VPC or VMWare to ship.

And that should only be those who need Windows as well as MacOS X on
their laptops.

Those of us who need to use Windows applications from MacOS X [if we
have to copy-and-paste between the two environments, for example] will
have to wait for VPC of VMWare.

And those of us who need access to Windows /and/ MacOS X in our office
or back home have simply got at least two computers, possibly with a I/O
switch in order to use the same screen, keyboard and mouse/trackball -
thus saving space on the desk.
