We all know about PsyStar, the company that sells an unofficial Macintosh clone running Mac OS X Leopard. While the device runs Leopard fine, it has its shortcomings in that operating system updates have to go through PsyStar testing first, becuase they might break your installation. While this problem isn't addressed with this product, EFiX aims to simplify installing Mac OS X Leopard on your non-Apple machine.

"MS is putting Vista down and talking about Windows 7. Crazy! "
Not really. MS has said, long ago, that they wanted a three-year release cycle, which would mean that today, we are approximately halfway through Vista's lifecycle. It would hardly be surprising that, halfway through Vista's lifecycle, we would be beginning to hear about Windows 7. If I correctly recall, work had begun on Vista even before XP was released. My point being that, irrespective of how Vista is received by the potential endusers, we would be hearing about its follow-up under any circumstance.

Most people hate vista. But most people don't have a choice.
C'mon, try a little variety in your weasel-words. Using "Most people..." twice in a row makes it look like you're not even trying. Mix it up a bit, maybe throw in a few "some people say" or "it has been suggested that..." or "critics argue that...".

Weasel-words. LOL! Sounds a little silly if you ask me.
You know as well as I do no one but MS fan boys are running out and getting Vista. That is why Apple PC sales are up 10 fold and Macs are 40% more expensive then other computers. People are just plan tired of stupid Windows and the spyware and hacks and viruses!
That is why MS let people offer reverse upgrades so you could legally down grade to XP.
They know it's full of bloat that is why they are offering XP on Netbooks and not Vista.
And on top of that they have to hold a gun to Netbook hardware vendors to get them to go the MS way!

Most can't to scrap everything and go to something new or retrain their staffs.
Also to be honest I am a mac head but I can get 2 nice Dell Vista laptops for a little over the price of one Mac Book.
So if I am running a business (Which I do) would I go for the Mac or do I go for 2 Dells for every one Mac, and save the money upfront?
The other delema is that Apple has "no" business unit. I put that in quotes because they do have a "business" unit but they don't really focus on business like Dell or Lenovo do.
When you do business with someone like Dell they give you the whole nine yards on their business machines (Apple doesn't make "business" machines)they give you ALL the specs, they give you the life span plans, bios plans, driver plans etc. You know years ahead of time where Dell is going with their business lines. You don't have to hope your stuff will work on it. And for an extra fee they will even make your images for you and adjust them for the newer models etc. Apple hates letting people know what they are up to!
Really though If apple sold a supported version of Mac OS on Dells or others on the low end side I think they could make a ton of money. A lot of people given the choice would buy the Mac OS on Dell.
