WARNING!! WARNING!! for mac users doing this

**A warning to all the Mac users out there**
If you want to try this on your Intel Mac then please remember the following - theres something you may be unaware of;

"please disconnect your internet connection to your Mac when first starting up Windows. This well stop you from getting Spyware! and the possibility of you being 'hacked' before you get your AntiVirus software installed" lol

Good advice

I also would like to have some more tips from Win-ppl, because we
do not know anyrhing about viruses and vulnerabilities... we have
no experience, I meant, we haven`t have that experience.

I don't think...

... a consumer will buy a Mac to install Windows on it anyway. This is a useless effort for the glory of the geeks. There's no commercial value.

A consumer chooses to buy an expensive Mac because it is highly likely that he/she doesn't want Windows or Linux.

Congratulations to those who wasted their time and money.
