Under the plan consumers can buy a $199 a copy of the operating system and install it on up to five Macs in a single household. This sounds like a great idea and cuts against Microsofts OS policy. Now is there anyone with 5 Macs... :D

My dad has three macs so he'd like this. Hopefully there will be pressure on Microsoft to change their agreement, but I doubt it. Mac users don't really give a damn about windows users...
Yea, he as two G4 powerbooks and a G4 tower, so he can run it. BUT, you are correct about older Macs running OSX... I don't think that this will save many people money. What it does is give them good press. I'd love to see Microsoft do this, but I'm not holding my breath.
Come to think of it, our Mac users are better looking than anyone else in our office. I need to order more Macs... :D
Like my wife. We (She) just bought the new 17" Flat-Screen iMac. Its an amazing computer and I find my self using all the time. Maybe its because its new, but the GUI is about the most beautiful thing I have ever seen...
