Jobs is presently over Nevada as I post this. He is said to be in a frantic rage, and already 3 staffers have gotten fired during the flight! Currently the rest of the employees are cowering in the back of the jet, with Steve up front cursing to himself.
He is said to have called Mr. Gates and told him that he better be "ready for hardball".
The Power 5 team in Cupterino has been alerted and is prepping a tower for demonstration. A bakeoff is planned between a Power 5 and a dual Pentium 4 box, using not Photoshop, but several 3d animation and compositing apps.
Jobs has also given the green light to Apple's ad agency to begin running new advertisments for Mac hardware, and OS X. These new ads were previously considered too "in your face" for Apple to air. One of them features a side by side view of an iMac and Wintel, running OS X and Windows XP. The ad starts by having the computers start a task, and each time, the Mac finishes while Windows XP summons various "Wizards" to help the user through complicated hoops. The view keeps resetting to new tasks, until the end when the Mac is said to begin a task that can not be done in Windows. Windows XP crashes and the ad ends with OS X still running, and the Wintel showing a bluescreen of death. "It's a hard-hittin' ad, dead-on and a little too accurate" says one insider. "We were afraid to run it for fear of Micro$oft retaliating, but Steve just called and said ot put it on heavy rotation in all markets. It's the most expensive ad campaign Apple has ever undertaken!".
Oh lighten up and have some fun for once! This is a RUMOR BB, it's supposed to be FUN! If you want something serious then what are you doing here in the first place?

Please take your 'random crap' to AppleOutsider. This thread is for future hardware iCheese only.
Brie and mozzarella should be discussed in SOFTware.
