Yep, even Boot Camp is *FREE*. AND(!) it's *called* a beta release -- but it's *ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS* in my experience -- which has stressed it far moreso than was *even possible* in "vista."

What's more... those "free" updates from Masochisticsoft... oh sure, "they're great" -- WHAT THEY ARE is *perpetual* evidence of how bad not only the first "job" was... but *every one after it*.

No one could use a system for much real work and not consider them a huge impediment. The bottom line is, software written well doesn't require *any* revision. Yes, it may one day or another integrate a new or different technology.

If General Motors had to fix your ignition 4 times a day, what would you think of General Motors? Of course, if General Motors stole every possible competing invention (no matter how poorly they implemented it), you'd probably/possibly still be running General Motors -- and it might be the titantic.

Even the software development tools for OSX are free.
