    So nice to see Apple finally doing something practical to spoil the Windows 7 parade.

    Wow they don't even support the Mac Pro that you spend so much money for.

    That's kind of sad since they really don't have many computer models to support in the first place.

    Hehe god damn Apple. Happy to let you install Windows on your mac but they won't let you install OSX on a PC :-(

    As an iPhone developer that means I have to fork out big money for a computer or work on a hackintosh that could break at any time :-(
