i think that people who trly need to use both formats will find it useful...
funny that people design on a playform that has less than 5 percent of the market... and then test it for PC's

I'd love to be able to take a 12 inch powerbook around with me and boot whichever I wanted

why crazy? television producers don't author on a television... As long as you can test how it works on your target devices, then why not choose the best tools?

yeah but you cant test effectively can you? hence the people trying to hack xp on the mac.

people, like me, are putting xp on macs so that 1. we can play games and 2. run software that works better on windows (like most ex-macromedia products).

i think the whole idea is just silly. unless youre dual booting...then buy a dell or something. but seroiusly...it's much quicker to just walk to the other room and test a url on the dusty pc than reboot.
as for games...how many of you play games? i havent played games on a computer in at least 4 yrs. never wanted to when i got a powerbook.
whatevever i guess, to each his own.

thats the thing.. I dont want to dual boot..I'd much rather run a remote session on the Mac using RDC to my Dell at home, from wherever I am... it means I can pull up both Mac and PC browsers on one screen during meetings.

i'd get a mac if i could get the dual boot thing going -
i'm pretty much the only designer i know that uses a PC - mainly for 2 reasons;
1. i'm a poor student & can't afford a shiney new powerbook, and 2. i'm a gamer & macs suck for games.

To be honest, I couldn't give a fuck if you could dual boot a fucking pigeon up a cat.
