from what I gathered the new apples can run osx and windows, I see they have a good video card and there graffix are supposed to be great, I am about to buy one and would like to see if I can run my g3 and help greatly appreciated. ps the people that work at the apple stores dont know squat.

As far as I know, no one has been able to install windows on one yet. It will probably happen, but it hasn't happened yet.

Two chances - slim and none.

It's like expecting Windows 3D applications to work in Linux running on a PC. No way...

Why would anyone buy an overpriced Mac based on an obsolete Intel chip (this "Duo" is based on two Pentium 3 cores and suffers from the same problems P3 do!) and running a cheesy OS, and then try installing a "normal" Windows or running Windows applications??? (For the record: I have access to Mac boxes from G3 to G5 and I was unfortunate to be forced to debug C++ code on them.) The only thing great about Mac desktops are their gorgeous LCD screens. But, hey, you can buy an LCD alone and connect it to a Windows box!
