It aint hypocracy... they've been allowing Windows to run on Macs for years. Now it runs natively.
Though I personally feel that Windows on a Mac is like allowing a retarded kid drive a Lambo. I guess a lot of people love retarded kids.
So the anti-Apple trolls wouldnt have a hardtime bashing the Mac here is a side by side comparison between an Acer & an Apple.

Hey look, apple decided start crawling out of the proverbial betamax hole they dug for themselves
Too bad it isn't going to increase the intelligence of their core user base

I guess it's true. Terrorists tend to preffer Windows while all the US Presidents preffer Macs & iPods.

So long as they oppose the will of Bush they are.
Apple already released OS X that works with x86. I've been toying around with it a few months ago.

I guess if you consider 'stolen then illegally shared" to be the same as 'released', then yeah, they have released it

Actually years ago now. Ever since OS X 10.0 all of their OS were complied in both PPC and x86 platforms.

Indeed Apple computers are overpriced. Nevermind it's a pound lighter. Nevermind it isnt an Acer. Nevermind it has a better industrial design. Nevermind it's physically smaller. Nevermind it's 1" thick. Nevermind it can triple boot into OS X, Linux & Windows. Nevermind it has award winning bundled software that can edit video, make DVDs, mix audio & edit & manage photos that makes owning a Mac worth it. Nevermind better build quality. Nevermind it gets bundled with a free dev kit. Nevermind it has FrontRow. Nevermind it has an IR remote. Nevermind it has a magnetic powerplug that would help prevent your laptop from falling in case someone walks into the power cord. Nevermind it has back lit keyboards. Nevermind it has Bluetooth 2.0+
For the same MacBook Pro specs you can get a Gateway for $1454.99-1625. So feel free to save $400-600 on a great computer that still has the same problems as a computer as far back as 1995. It probably still has parallel & serial ports too and the ever essential PS/2.
The whole points of Macs is the Operating System.
So if you dont like anything Apple can offer then go on to dell.com & buy the $499 laptop. It's big, heavy, smelly and a great bargain.
