There were many people running Windows who were unable to see Mikey's webcam - or was that Babaloo's homage to Susie

Never you mind, on the new MacBook I will be buying in June, I will be able to run Windows just fine for those miscreants whose content cannot be seen on industry standard programs and require Microsoft Monopoly Proprietary Shit (MMPS) instead

It's True! Pretty soon the Mac will be running Intel hardware....next Windows OS?

Some Macs have Intel microprocessors now.

The Dell's are handicapped and limited - they can only run Windows and Linux. Poor babies. Unlike the Mac, which can run many flavors of Unix, including Mac OS X and Windows.

I was running Windows on a Mac a long time ago, using Virtual PC.

Apple is the company that has made it possible to run Windows XP natively on Intel powered Macintoshes.

Be careful when you stray out of your area of expertise. You end up with egg on your face, as you did this time. Read this for up to date information - from April of 2006 rather than seven months ago.

Why should you run Windows on an expencive Macintosh? Why not just buy a PC?

I have Macintosh at work, but would never buy one myself.

Don't be so serious roni (as if you were not taking the exact same position 7 looooong months ago! )...your position on this whole issue is often comical to me and based upon loyalty, personal preference and personal experience rather than based in particular knowledge or expertise..and thats fine for what it is.....Just MHO...besides, I can live with "egg on my face" from time to time, not take myself so seriously and still have fun and enjoy the debate:p

BTW, as I considered the source of the link you sent in your follow-up post, and its likely objectivity, I felt it might not add a whole lot to the debate....besides, "winning" this particular debate is just not that important to me

Carole, the answer is in the mail header (the top part of the email that gets hidden from you normally) which may be visible in the returned email since they normally include the returned mail, header and all. This will tell you what is happening. Find one that was returned and post the header here and it will be solved, most likely.

Here's an example of what you are looking for, with explanations of each part.
