No - it clearly states that the MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) only supports windows 8 64 bit.

But Mac users don't need any other version of Windows. Must be true because Apple has decreed it.

I thought it was Apple policy to ONLY support the current version, backward compatibility - phooy

What??? Are you kidding me? Apple is the most evil of them all.
They fail to get the phone right, so they expect you to buy a new one every six months. 
They tell you their phone is better than the rest. But it only has one button and the others have 3 buttons at the bottom. So clearly the others are 3 times better.
They take a Nano, strap it to your wrist and tell you its a smart watch and charge you 5 times the amount. 
They sell you a laptop, call it a MacBook and charge 5X the price of a laptop. And then the people who buy these install a Windows VM. Why not run Windows in the first place??? I digress.
I've seen Satan's car. Or at least it was a red Volkswagon beetle that had "Satan" vanity plates, and yes you guessed it... an Apple logo sticker on the back. 
And remember, what got Adam and Eve thrown out of the garden. Oh yes... an Apple.
So yes. Apple is evil.

I would take all of this as, "Big words". If you read the content to the end, you will find, "humans will live to be 500-years-old". If you can do it... Do it! If can't, don't market your products in a way that tomorrow you can't fulfill your promise.

That would be really nice on a google watch ...

All this kind of patent achieves is to prevent the people who could actually achieve their aims from doing anything:
"I know I can cure cancer with a gadget that you strap to your wrist, but I can't build it, because google has a blanket patent for something that they can't make and have no idea how to make".

An interesting point: do you know this to be the case? That would be criminal, really.

It's how patent trolls work. They patent a rough idea on how something might possibly work, then sue the cr@p out of anyone who does something that even slightly resembles that rough idea.
Just look at the verbiage: "can automatically modify or destroy one or more targets in the blood that have an adverse health effect".
It's a monstrous patent for technology that does not, and cannot yet, exist, which can only be used to steal funds from people who could actually make something like that work.
I've always been largely in favour of the "If you can't provide empirical proof that it works, you can't have a patent for it" concept, but, given what has been going on over the last few years, I've begun to see it as a necessity.

Agreed. We need to go back to the days that the patent process required 2 things: 1 - the application, 2 - a fully working demo.

Yes, thank you, that all makes good sense.

No empirical proof that robotniks work => no patent.

In my naiveté I thought that's how it was supposed to work - I hadn't realized that dreams could now be patented.

It used to be that to file a patent, you had to have at least a working prototype. Seems like I could patent warp drive technology now, if I wanted to.

Some of the suggestions offered, to help the inflicted, seem like they wouldn't work because it would still require some level of effort from the inflicted person.
