Is Apple, through its policy of not selling it's operating system,
promoting or endorsing piracy?
We know that dual booting from an IntelÂ® Coreâ„¢ Duo processor
between a Microsoft Windows XP and an Apple OSX operating system is possible.

If you purchase a computer from Apple, with OSX installed as its native operating system,
Apple has software available (bootcamp) to make dual booting between OSX and XP possible.

If however you own the same IntelÂ® Coreâ„¢ Duo processor which has Mirosoft's Windows XP operating system
installed as it's native operating system, the only way to achieve dual boot capability between
Mac OSX10 and Windows XP is through a pirated and patched OSX10 install DVD.

Remember, none of this is theory, it is fact.

Wake up Apple! Make the money while the market is ripe.

Please don't wait till the market is flooded with pirated, altered and possible infected technology.

However, if you own a genuine copy of OSX, you still aren't allowed to put it on a computer unless it's an Apple even though the system is quite capable of running OSX.
