    I've tried to let this thread die, but people keep bumping it.

    Well .. clearly you haven't, since you've carried on replying to my one liner despite having "tried" to let this thread die ... :)

    Me, I've just started ...

    just a sidenote:
    You should be willing to own up to your posts ...

    Right, so it uses pretty much the same HW as any COTS PC (apart from Apple's EFI BIOS) - so yes it should run windows provided the drivers (which are written by Apple) are written correctly.

    It runs hotter due to its design? => it's a laptop that's designed to run hot :p That's fairly retarded, I'm glad I wasn't on that engineering team. Oh, right, Steve Jobs decided form over function. Gotcha...

    I wouldn't be surprised if Apple deliberately puts Windows driver development on the backburner, so that users continue to have a bad Windows experience, reinforcing the stereotype.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to love Apple, as setting up proper audio on Windows/Linux sucks - but don't for a second believe that Apple is acting in *your* best interest - they're an evil facist company too!
