Best Buy Offering Windows OS on Apple Powerbooks

It looks as though Best Buy is offering Apple Powerbooks with what looks like the Windows 98 OS! This post may get a lot of traffic, so let me stop the speculation now by saying that Best Buy is NOT offering Powerbooks with Windows. BB simply needs to work on their Photoshopping skills.

  Maybe they are running Virtual PC with a Win98 install. Because we all know that running Win98, in Virtual PC and on a Powerbook none the less, is just kick ass!!
