iPod As a Disruptive PC Boot Device?

Sure Slashdot’s all worked up about the headline “Has Google Peaked?” but the real fun of the article is at the end where the idea of using iPods loaded with OS 10.4 to boot Intel PCs and sending MSFT into spasms is the real neat idea:) Just think about.

What if they also make 10.4 a free download through the iTunes Music Store?“
