Apple blings up new iMac with latest Intel chips, next-gen Wi-Fi

Re: Microsoft on a Mac

Well SOME Wintel boxes aren't very good but spec one properly with good components and it'll be a sound bit of kit and you can fix it yourself if it does go wrong. All of my PC's over the years have been pretty reliable. The PCs at work that run embedded Windows and control lab equipment like analyser interfaces and sub-networks are bulletproof. If a glued shut Apple goes tits up (and they do) it's either very hard to DIY or uneconomic to fix it at all. I had iOS running on a PC for quite a while as a hobby project and it was fast and stable so maybe Wintel owners might pay to have an official copy of iOS as a dual boot on a PC like thousands already do with Linux.

Out of the top six software titles for Mac on Apple's web site two are Microsoft applications and another lets you run Windows on your Mac. Oh, and if you want a server with enough muscle for a big workgroup you're going to be disappointed 'cos they discontinued their Xservers due to no sales. I've got a Mac Mini that I enjoy using but why don't they release a version of iOS that runs on a PC? Lot's of people run hacked versions just for fun anyway.
