As part of my job I worked on these machines: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10209580-92.html

Thanks for the info. It was a pretty common fable for a while.

I understand Mac uses some BSD code and can boot Windows. Someone earlier stated that it ran native windows in the Mac OS without virtualization. That was the only statement I could not grasp.

I currently run a 4 unit LAN using Win 7 and have 5 more PCs for sale. Not much room for another machine right now. If I get a chance to get my hands on a powerful Mac and can play with it I'd like to see what it can do.
