It's sad that you need to con people with such a shifty-sounding scheme to get them to save, but I've gotta agree with Scarr that if this encourages -ANY- savings, that's far better than people squandering their money on state lotteries.
From a casual observer's POV, I don't understand why Apple doesn't do ahead and make the leap to port their OS over to the 80x86 processor. There already seems to be more in common between the (hardware) platforms than remains different - from a user's perspective.
It'd be interesting to see the Apple OS competing truly head-to-head (comparing apples to apples?) with Windows. I've nothing against WinXP at all, but I do think that this kind of competitive pressure would really prompt some creative future advancements from MS.
