    Inconsequential. Dual booting is *so* 2005.
    Nobody even turns off their macs anymore, much less boots into a different OS.

    Please, can someone explain why it is so damn hard for some people to look past the version numbers and just check out what's new and improved in OS X releases??

    'Cuz, you see, on Windows, it's easier: Every new version is a real new version. A whole number, not some wimpy little decimated digit to the RIGHT of the decimal point. That's why Windows is always TEN TIMES better than the Mac. You don't see us Windows users trying to boot OS X on our computers do you? You guys are just lusers.

    "This is great. It will encourage more people to move to Leopard at a faster rate.
    More revenue for Apple. More profits for Apple. More Macs for us to buy. Yea!"

    This is a comment on the site. Most illuminating, people who do not know the difference between their own interests and that of other people.

    Hardly know where to begin....

    Windows is *significantly* cheaper than OSX.


    A street-corner hooker is significantly cheaper than a high-class escort.

    But both will give you syphilis if you don't wear a condom...

    Hmm, mod me insightful if you find a deep meaningful analogy to the OS debate, hidden in the above. I personally could not, but of course I posted anyway.
