    It's early going yet. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060125-6045.html shows that more than just basement hackers are going to try to get this working.

    In case it's not obvious, that is a satirical article

    It's just wrong. I refuse to accept its existence.

    I can not believe the amount of coverage this has been getting on popular tech news websites, I just can not comprehend why one would want to run Windows so bad on their Apple machine.

    The reason why the person created the prize was so that he can get a Mac as a work computer. So IMO it is justified.
    Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.

    heh i didn't know what satirical meant, till i googled it so i thought it was real.

    "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said he welcomed Apple to the dark side with open arms. "We knew they'd come around eventually." Then he laughed maniacally scaring several preschool children at the in-house daycare.
    wait....that doesnt sound too real"


    i was kinda starting to suspect something at this point
