how clever of microsoft...making people buy the more expensive versions of vista to try to compensate a little bit of the money they lost when pc people switched to macs. if you have to run windows, you have no choice but to buy it...though there is still xp......well played gates

I don't think the new OS is all that expensive, especially considering the development costs.

I remember seeing an article in Maximum PC where some dude had every version of Windows (v1, v2, v3, WFWG, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP) running simultaneously on one computer in separate VM sessions which leads to the question - why?

I'm not seeing the practical side of running Vista on a Mac OS Intel box other than for the novelty unless there is a need to run some type of proprietary Windows software, i.e. a specialized work or business program, but what's the point when PC's are reasonably cheap?

I'm sure people run windows on a Mac for practical reasons of their own. Novelty not included,

If you can't figure that out i don't know what to tell ya. It's been covered over and over again.

I run winxp on my Mac with Parallels only because I have one program for which there is no Mac equivalent, streets and trips.
This is stupid on Microsoft’s part, someone will have a crack up
before long.

Running XP right now on a 24 inch iMac. Amazing. It's suppose to be faster with bootcamp but i don't have that.
