Now if Apples were easy to build yourself then I would be ALL about Apple from now on

lol, what the article doesn't say is that no games will play on the Hacked version of Windows, except for Solitare, minesweeper, ect.
No EQII for J00.

meh, good news for my work machines cause we're about to buy a bunch of the intel mac minis to replace our aging system 9 macs.

But I wont be doing cartwheels or anything crazy, until I can go home, and load up OS X on my custom built box.

Actually most should run fine....it's intel hardware and ATI Radeon video cards...but I have the same reservations as everyone else. If the video card built into the box won't run the next game I buy...I want a to be able to replace that card, not the whole box. :o

Apple stock did well today (up almost 7%.)

Heh. Apple and their investors might actually make more money now since they stopped being stubborn with their shitty systems.

You'll need one of the new MacIntels. The Boot Camp works very well for a Beta, and EQ plays fine. There is the issue of needing an external keyboard and mouse for the character mapping and right clicking--issues that might get better with more driver support in the future.
