While all the news today is touting how great virtualization will be for a MAC I have so many questions. If MAC users want XP running on their systems why not buy a PC to start with? I doubt seriously this will ralley many XP users to the MAC camp contrary to all the news people saying how this will make MAC the standard. Please... Article Here or Movie Here

Personally I am not a MAC basher. I think people will use what ever they want and that is that. Seems foolish to spend ones time picking reasons one is better than another really. The facts are the MAC OS has many neat features but I will not die without it. Seems a bit like Dell refusing to do AMD until recently through the alienware purchase.

I have written several articles questioning the logic behind not letting someone who purchases your OS (e.g.) MAC to install it on any machine the person wants to. The logic is simply so tanted, I wonder if the things created at PIXAR have not warped Steve Jobs perspective. While this virtualization software might be a neat toy for the MAC user, I do not think it will suddenly make people run out and buy a MAC. Though it certainly might get those loyal MAC zealouts to understand that XP is not the evil empire. Who knows they might even understand more about a computer.

What is impossible to understand since MAC is now using the Intel platform, why not open the OS to the PC. Why do they work so hard to close the one door that could give millions of computer users, specifically those PC users an option for their OS. Even if they refuse to support anything but the MAC hardware with their OS, it seems one could seriously shakeup the PC world if they did.

Perhaps it is simply a no compete agreement with MS and Apple that is not advertised and they simply will never allow such a thing. Seems to average people as a one way street. I do not think XP users would race to switch, but many would like the same options that are available now to a MAC.
