On Apple hardware we can now run: 1) Mac OS X 2) Linux 3) Windows. Wow. With virtualization coming up, this won't even require a reboot anymore. Amazing!

Some of us never thought we'd see the day.

I liked this note:
Quote:
Word to the Wise
Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.

More funny quotes:

Quote:
EFI and BIOS
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.
Apple is a Hardware company: this move is going to net them BILLONS of cash.

<fanboy>I predict Apple will hit double digit marketshare within a year!</fanboy>

Wahay! I was disappointed when it looked like this would be difficult, now I can buy the next MacBook release with a clear conscience. I wonder if this means Apple are making Windows drivers for the graphics cards they use, as that seemed to be an issue with the earlier hack to get XP running on the intel iMacs.

Cat, glad to hear what you say about Apple being a hardware company, i often end up explaining my view on this to people. For my own use I much prefer doing my daily tasks in OS X but having windows on the machine would really help me justify paying for the hardware.

Wow....look at that Vista!...

I'm interested to see how this will work (I've already read about the virtualizations theory regarding this, but I would love to see it in action).
