As for security issues, I don't think there will be any considering that Windows will be installed on a separate partition and from what I've read so far, when you boot in to Windows, you won't be able to access the Mac partition which means that any security threats and infiltrations will be isolated to that partition. So Microsoft can keep their programmer busy working on patches for the gazillions of security flaws... But i'm sure your garden variety hacker will be working on getting over this. The bright side to all of this is that this hugely increases the potential for future PC buyers to consider a Mac... VIVA CUPERTINO!!!

I was waiting for the 17" version to come out instead. Let me know if you have any success with playing games on this. I would love to see if the hardware is fully supported.

It was very smooth and went without probles. Only issue was that it seemed a bit picky about what copy of Windows XP to accept, but finally it installed. I think it comes down to Apple trusts that Mac OS X is such a better OS than Windows is currently and by letting people run Windows more users can pick Macs. I tried it last night and it works.

Mac is getting a momentum and the user base is growing for OSX so, as a result we're seeing some malware injections and security holes. I expect more of it as we go.
