Ha ha ha! You seem to feel the same way about Jobs that I do about Gates....
I CAN'T run Windoze on MY Macs, 'cuz I run old PPC-based Macs. You can only run Windows on Intel-based Macs.
Like my wife's Macbook. It's Intel-based. She's from Russia, where Macs are used only by weidos and outcasts. (The same holds true there for diesel-engined car owners, btw....) The only way I got her to accept it was because it could run Windows, but I never got around to setting that up. Now, three years hence, she wants nothing to do with Windows. My youngest brother, a die-hard MicroSoft fan from the MS-DOS days, got his Macbook for the same reason, and WAS running both OS's, but, now says he goes months without firing up Windows. (He's the senior editor at Edmund's.com, and LIVES off his laptop.) My father and sister both switched to Intel-based Macs in the last couple of years (on my brother's recommendations), and have no regrets at all. There's that age-old saying, "Once you go Mac, you never go back"....
I've worked on many platforms over the past 25+ years: Windows-based systems; Sun SparStations running first C+ and later Solaris; AutoZone's system is Linux-based. Wavefront on Silicon Graphics. And, of course, Macs since '84. Besides that initial porting of Wavefront to Silicon Graphics (when we were told "Those are not bugs, those are FEATURES!"), without a doubt, the most troublesome systems were the ones running MicroSoft. All that time and energy and money to "protect" your computer from some goofball in his parent's basement with nothing better to do than try to cause trouble for billions of people. That and the hardware seems to have a lifespan of just a few years. IF that! Then, the next Windows version comes out and finds all the current hardware lacking....

Windows 7 & Mac OS. I personally hate Macs. I didn't until the iTunes
concept was developed. Now Steve Jobs is 666 to me.
