Imajes pointed out in my comments yesterday that the new Mac’s and PC’s and Vista and OS/X aren’t exactly going to play all that well out of the box. I’ve heard rumors to that effect before, and a post on Engadget today seems to almost certainly confirm this.
“Ars Technica's already got a review up of the 1.83GHz Core Duo T2400-based iMac…They also gave XP and Vista a go on the box to see what they could see... and didn't have any luck getting it to install right off the bat.”

The real point here, that Imajes makes quite specifically, is that it doesn’t need to work right out of the box in order to be accessible.
I’m quite willing to shell out an addition $29.95 for whatever installation assistant some intrepid independant software developer is going to come out with. It’ll have a spiffy name like “SooperDooperMacWindowsInstaller2007” or something like that.
And it’ll have great support forums and work well, and generally do exactly what Apple and Microsoft don’t want it to do.
And I’ll probably be one of the first people to buy it
