I heard there is something like an Intell I-book which runs windows and the mac opperating systems. That sounds kind of unlikely though.
I doubt that there is a non-mac laptop that runs dual boot (OS X and XP/Vista) from the factory. Apple does not support and probably will not support non-Apple hardware with OS X. However, any Intel/AMD processor is capable of running Mac OS X if it can run SSE2 and/or SSE3 instructions. I've actually recently done this myself with a Pentium 4 NortWood PC. You will need a special copy of OS X that has drivers and instruction packages for intel processors. The only real problem with this is that setting up dual boot (running both XP/Vista and OS X) is a little bit tricky/difficult and there are problems with drivers (my network card is not recognized by OS X).

oh i read about the bootcamp thing online. I'm getting more used to this, but not having a right-click is the most frusterating thing in the world. Like just now, i'm typing and i know i spelled frusterating wrong (again, wrong there) but i dont know where to click to spell check to correct it, where usually with Windows it was so simple [:@] also, using Mozille Firefox, how do you have open up links in new tabs?

I'm using a Microsoft 2 button optical mouse (USB) on my computer. When I switch to OS X, I can right click just like I do in Windows and does similar things I believe. Try hooking up a 2 button USB mouse to your Mac and see if it works.

or just it Command(apple key)+ T basically if it is a Crtl key combination on windows, use the apple key and it will most likely do the same thing
