ANNOUNCEMENT: Apple now runs Windows!

Who would have ever thought?!?

Today, Apple announced that Apple owners using the new Intel chipset, can download software that will allow them to install and run Windows XP.

This is an inspired move by Apple - despite what diehard Mac addicts might say - that will boost sales of Apple products and won't hurt sales of Microsoft products either. Apple users will be able to work in XP or the Mac OS interchangably. I'm a big fan of the interoperability of the Microsoft products, as I've been using them for years but this announcement makes it easier for me to return to my roots as I was first introduced to computers by the Apple II. I'm an Apple fan in a Windows world and now that seems to have changed! I get the best design the best operation and now it appears I can collaborate with anyone, if I buy that PowerBook I've always wanted.

As of the close of market, Apple shares were trading higher. Ahh, the power of Incspiration!
