It might just be because I'm tired and I've missed the point, but isn't the article describing Windows as having "limitations"..? Which contradicts the article's anti-BC/Mac point of view. Or, is it just saying that Windows is limited on the Intel Macs (therefore, you are forced to use OSX). But that's not really true... you can install the full, working Windows XP on the Intel Macs.
It won't be offically supported and you need to have the full version of SP2, not an upgrade disc. No Internet support until the iPod gets it's own AirPort Extreme card.;-)
I agree. I would much rather have a product where time was spent getting it to work properly rather than adding "feature x that you'll hardly ever use". Feature x can be added later on if there's demand for it.
I was using XOM and it was fine aside from the lack of video drivers. However, I'm now using Boot Camp (so I can play Theme Hospital... Um, I mean, some cool shoot-em-up game). XOM suffered when there was a software update or you changed the startup disk (had to re-bless the file), it wouldn't allow the firmware update (had to reinstall OS X from scratch) and driver support wasn't ideal. Apple's Boot Camp isn't perfect (e.g. no iSight drivers yet) but it's better. The only downside is that the computer will boot into the default OS when it starts, rather than giving you the option of which to boot. You need to manually hold down alt and it can be annoying if you forget to and then think "ah, go away Apple logo, I wanted Windows". (OK, not a common thought, but it happens).

Is it just me that's getting the impression that the EU has something against Microsoft?
