Re: Try A Mac For 30 Days

They'll probably sell them in their "Special Deals" store (the big "Save" tag on the bottom right of store.apple.com.) for a reduced rate. Honestly, I doubt they'll have a huge number of returns. That's just the way Apple is.. their computers are very well-built and honestly, kind of addictive (fellow Mac users probably know what I mean.)

Oh, I also think it's a pitch by Apple to show Wintel users OS X. The OS X x86 has certainly caused a big buzz, and I'm sure there are folks out there that are wondering if they'd want to switch but don't know (or want to) the first thing about downloading a vmware image, dd'ing it over top of their Windows installation, etc. I think they're stretching for it, but if OS X is made to run on non-Apple machines, they're going to lose a ton of cash (would you rather sell a $3,500 computer or a $130 OS?) Hook people onto their beautifully designed hardware before it's too late.
