Ok, so they do this for mac most likley to show that a "mac must be more powerful because it can run 2 different OS' " or something silly to that effect (PCWorld's marketing devision is weird like that), but I guess they fail to realise that alternative OS' are possible on PC's too, maybe they should get a few with linux installed to show that?

Im just bitter because I feel that big companies will never venture into the unknown.

Hmm... didn't Dvorak say something like this would happen? Good thing Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly or anything.

Good thing bit-tech employee competent spell check!

If only PC's came with dual boot-I see a new marketing campaign utilizing Vista and Linux. (If only Microsoft would be so kind as to bring about its own demise like that.)
