Apple Computer's announcement of new Macs based on processors from Intel raises an interesting question: Since both the Mac and Windows operating systems now run on Intel-based hardware, shouldn't it be easy to run both on the same computer? That simple question deserves a simple answer. But there isn't one - at least not right now. Reaching the nirvana of running the two most popular desktop operating systems on one machine is a lot harder than you might expect.

"Oh, no! My next computer is the Intel-equivalent PowerMac running Windows (they'll find a way). Apple hardware is absolutely top-of-the-line in every respect. The case design alone is worth it, not to mention the cooling system inside"
Oh my God I can't tell who's serious and who's sarcastic anymore
