Well I had a little 500 MHz iBook that I dearly loved until my wife, 
also dearly loved, decided it was hers. It actually ran Win98 
acceptably. But when I had to use it as a Win XP client to test a Samba 
setup it was quite slow. I think it would be a mistake to buy an iBook 
to run Windows without at least testing it yourself. Linux, of course, 
runs fine  on the iBook.
