Several people care. The future of Mac is at stake here... if people use either the hardware or the software for the wrong/unintended reasons, Microsoft will just trounce all over it.

yes,but everyones asking this same question and its kinda getting annoying

I think if you could dual boot a new Mac with Windows XP, it would be a good selling point for Macs and might increase their sales.

Even if OS X is hacked to run on PCs, I doubt it will be very widespread. There is a large prejudice against Macs by young PC users. Expecially, the PC users who would be in favor of things like illegal software. Yeah, a few compys will get OS X on them, but over all, the problem won't be very widespread.

even as PC user, I wanted a mac. but I tend to "think different" anyways. Now, I'm a total convert. My Powerbook goes everywhere with me. I step in with potential customers at best buy and point them towards the mini (and no, I don't work there). i have an apple keychain and license plate holder.... lol

I got them as gifts, I'll find out where she got them from, and post it here. The keychain is an oval shaped thing, and half is black, half is clear. the clear part lights up with a red light. The license plate holder says "Think Different" on the bottom, and "Apple Computer" on the top.
