They have bootcamp. They can load Windows and Mac. It's old news boot look it sucks. Why can they run Windows, and my Intel board cant run Mac? When will Mac stop being such proprietary stiffs and let other people who dont want to buy a Mac use OSX?

I have used the mac for a while and I must say I did not find it impressive or worth the hype. The interface was good, yes, but nothing worth all the hype that surrounds it. The iBook G4 I used looked cool, but the OS itself was ok. Personally, I think I'll stick with XP.

Also, because Apple have control of the hardware, OS and drivers they help ensure OSX is extremely stable and works with other Apple branded hardware.
I suggest you look into FreeBSD (where apple based OSX) and other projects such as Darwin.

The crapy and good thing about mac is that the processors are alot slower than the ones designed for pcs, BUT the great thing is that mac runs differently than windows and slower processors than pc bult processors dont really matter because mac runs faster with them.

I am pretty sure that microsoft has a product that lets you run dual OS's on your windows computer if you want that

More interesting, you can use PearPC to emulate a G4 processor, which will allow you to run Mac OS X on an Intel machine (such as Windows). It's a gray area of the law though, because Apple doesn't exactly want people emulating Mac OS X... the project still survives though.
