Hmm my opinion is WHY?????<br>Why has Micro$haft released XP on the PPC platform anyone who has a PPC will either be using Mac OS or Linux/Unix so why the hell would they want to use windoze?<br><br>Hmm ok panic over, i could be quite usefull as someone will be able to have dual boot and use software only available on windows which may be quite usefull, as VPC/softwindows are so slow.<br><br>

Heh..forgot I even posted that here. Ok..well, I think the guy was full of it. He sent me "screenshots" which look fake, and supposedly the package got lost twice in the mail (sent via USPS) and when I recommended FedEx or UPS, he did but the supposedly met the FedEx man to get the package back cause I didn't believe him! Ha! Oh well....chalk another one up to the ole rumor mill.<br><br>
