They have also provided an upgrade utility that facilitates transition to Windows 7 for Mac owners who have existing Vista installations. The new version of Boot Camp requires OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)."

    It'd wind up with less crap on it that way.

  2. I'm going to buy a Mac just to run Windows. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lately I've been thinking about buying a Mac. It's not because I want to run Mac OS X; I don't. I want it just to run Windows.

    Why would I spend three times as much on a Mac just to run Windows, when I could buy a Dell instead? Well, it's because I want to support Apple as best I can. I love my iPhone, and I will get an iPad as soon as I can. Apple has earned my love, and my support.

    I just wish that iPhone OS ran on their desktop systems. It's the best operating system I've used in a long time.

    98 good, WinME suck, XP SP2/3 good, Vista royal suck, Windows 7 good, so Windows 8 will be a hoover vac o' suck.

    It's just like Star Trek movies!
