Very scary! Actually I guess it does work, I saw a segment on
CNN where they did an interview with some bigwig at Macintosh. This
windows compatible scheme is one of their plans to keep from going
under, along with lowering prices up to 50%. I almost laughed to death
when i heard straight out of his mouth " we want to make it so our users
can use programs like windows 95 and run microsoft programs" This
straight from the horses mouth! What is this world comin too? :)
