It’s all over.

O wow, but I want it the other way. I want to run OSX on my PC:(
great idea, now everybody with a mac can enjoy Windows too
this is my favorite part:):
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
they can? i think the main attraction to windows for mac users will be they can play thousands of games
Yeah that’s the only reason i’d install Windows on my Mac, just for games.
Pretty cool tho…
I agree…only a fool buys a mac then puts windows on it, whats the point of that?? they just paid a high price of a system they could of got for a lot less, the main attraction of a mac is its operating system then its good looks.
Makes sense for Apple to embrace the dual boot though, but I doubt any users will make Windows their primary OS because mac users love mac software.
Well I spose now all the mac users with those beefy graphic cards in the new systems will be happy
When Vista comes out I’m sure a lot of Mac users will see sense anyway and migrate to Vista lol
p.s. I like the fact Apple are now providing windows drivers too.
Now why would you want to do a stupid thing like that? Just get a Mac! :party:
Before, the only reason I’d ever buy a Mac was for its asthetics, but the new MacbookPros with Intel Duo and Radeon X1600 along with Windows is very tempting. But then…$3k can be spent on a very beefy desktop.
Because I’d want better hardware.
Woot.
yeh apple have hit this one out of the ballpark
This is gonna make Apple rich. Especially if they make it more than just a dual boot.
i don’t know how much this will actually change things, mainly because neither company will really support it. so when you f up a partition and can’t boot into one of the OS’s, who’s the average user going to get help from? they just paid $2500 for a machine and now it’s hosed. and the people who would be willing to risk it all because don’t really use macs b/c it’s so gui based. just my 2 cents.
Err… if you can’t boot into it, it’s Apple’s problem. Plus, they have a firmware restore disc that will reset the entire computer no matter what you’ve done.
Hmmmmmmmm…
Cool!!! lots of new games for mac users
Now they need linux and they will be set.
who need linux?
we have linux, like yellowDog and Ubuntu :puzzle:
what do you mean?
They already do. The distro is Mac OS X.
