The downside of letting Macs run Windows…

I bought a house (again) last Friday and went to see some shops today with my girlfriend at the local mall.

We we looking for some Wok cooking books and went to Fnac, which happens to be one of Portugal’s biggest Apple retailers.

Right next to the Apple zone it’s the kids zone and what do I see in a small “kids” table with small “kids” chairs? A pair of iMacs. What really got my attention was when I saw a kid playing Solitaire. Wait, but OSX doesn’t come with Solitaire… what gives?! You guessed right, it was running Windows! I went to check the other iMac and it was also running Windows. Not running Solitaire, but with a visible Windows desktop.

Want it with a cherry on top? On the side of the iMacs there was a flyer with something like “With support from Apple IMC Portugal”.

Now, who decided to promote Macs running Windows? Fnac? IMC? Does IMC know this is happening? Does Apple know?

Hello world, again!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Actually this is my second blog, thus the “again”. The first one was mostly to test the then beta service from Google and I ended up not updating it too much.

One of the reasons for this blog is to have an online edition of my howtos, mostly FreeBSD stuff.

As a recent Apple convert in the form of a MacBook Pro I will also cover my life in the brushed metal side of the fence.

And for those of you wondering, I’m Portuguese but I chose to write in English as this blog subjects are not local.

Well, on with the posts! :)
