   Cool news! I wonder if we're far away from Mac Desktop Guests running on X86 hardware in VMWare legally? (Legally being the key word here.) I'd love to save a few million by not buying iBooks and iMacs and use thin clients with a VDI to bring me the desktop. But I know that Apple is primarily a hardware company, and they still hold reservations from doing so.

   IMO Apple are not really a hardware company at all.

   Just look at the components they use; They just license them for use within their products.

   Anyway I think I might donate some cash to Psystar if that's possible as Apple are turning into an ***.

   IMHO of course...

   I'd bet they'd survive a nuke; they dodged all of that?

   As Apple starts to snub MS and PCs in general, they're not the underdog anymore and one day they will piss off someone to the point where Apples will be targetted by hackers.

   This is one way to undermine Apple and I see no sympathy for Apple at all. They started throwing the barbs at PCer's and rightfully so they deserve a slap up the side of their heads for being a frickin' jerk.

   Agree. The fact they are mooning Apple makes me want to buy a Psystar computer to simply show support for what they are doing, even though my Mac is collecting dust. I have no reason to use it any more, since my PC is infinitely better. I was using the Mac as the expendable computer for my grandkids to use when they come to visit, but they are not interested in it... they want to use the PC exclusive. Last week, my 15 year old grandson said, "Grandpa, why'd you buy a Mac? Macs suck." My response was, "Bobby, every time I look at it, I ask myself that same question."

   I'm not a big MacOS fan (too much UI overhead), but it would be nice to give it a spin on PCs.

   I laughed out loud at work when I read this - loud enough to draw attention and I actually own several Macs.

    It will be fun to see those "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC " adverts now from Apple =)
