For me, "windows", especially within the context of hardware, means just that - some version of Microsoft's operating system - <i>not</i> windows apps.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />CharlesCharles Strahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027286025058393036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-23125156283964748232008-12-23T14:56:00.000+02:002008-12-23T14:56:00.000+02:00It could also be construed to mean that you can ru...It could also be construed to mean that you can run Windows applications on it under emulation (which you can) but I agree that it's misleading...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741227234362317129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-44446829933781002022008-12-21T20:21:00.000+02:002008-12-21T20:21:00.000+02:00I've always assumed what they meant was that you c...I've always assumed what they meant was that you can install windows on the machine ...
