| Quote: | SAN JOSE, Calif. — As expected, hackers have found a way to run Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows XP operating system on new Macintosh computers, winning an ad hoc contest and a $13,854 cash prize to boot.

I read that yesterday. My question is why did you buy some of the best stable hardware to put such instable software on it? That kind of negates the pros that a Mac provides.
