MacWindows? WinMac?
As I have noted before, the time has come when Windows users can be serious about considering a Mac as the hardware platform. The writer on consumer electonics, Walter Mossberg, certainly thinks so. He has an article in Smart Money where he says you can now have the best of both Worlds, Windows and Mac.
IT USED TO BE that if you switched from a PC running the Windows operating system to the small-selling but elegant Macintosh, you had to leave behind your Windows programs. Sure, there was one software product that allowed you to run Windows on a Mac and thus run Windows programs. But it was so slow that you wanted to shoot yourself whenever you were using it.
And then this year everything changed. Apple Computer, the maker of the Mac, switched to the same Intel-made processors for which Windows was designed. The new Intel-powered Macs, which began shipping in January, still come with Apple’s own operating system, Mac OS X, which is more modern and more secure than Windows XP. But these Macs can now easily run Windows too, and they run it as fast as standard Windows-equipped PCs.
