Good reason.

Best reason :-)

Is this the intel version of OS-X per chance? I'd be interested to see 
how it performs or if there's much trouble in getting it set up in dual 
(or three way) boot. We've tried running it in VMWare but it was pretty 
slow (slower that the 30% overhead caused by vmware should have been).

Cheers,
