Well, isn't *that* special.

So, what's the difference between a Mac running Windows (I've read that it
can) and a PC running Windows?

It's an emulation and not a strict operating system as I understand
it. Kind an overlay.

Personally, I find Macs very hard to use. It takes a particular mind
set to operate a Mac compared to Windows.

There is nothing "intuitive" about a Mac operating system.

About a dozen years ago I worked for a company that standardized the
desktop on Macs. We had PowerBooks at the time. Nice little machines
except with the bomb appeared on the screen. Then it was time to get the
paper clip out.

I had to evaluate some MacOS emulation software that ran on SunOS. We
were trying to reduce the number of systems on developers desktops. It
would have worked if the MacOS emulation would have been able to talk
through the Sun's Ethernet nic. But, Sun had taken over the NIC.

The funny thing was going from a one button Mac mouse to a three button
Sun mouse. I hated those Sun optical mice with the directionally
oriented mouse pads. Slick technology but a pain to use.
