Be afraid! Be very afraid!!

With the recent move to Intel chips for Apple Mac's, everyone (idiots) immediately thought "duh..now we can install Windows on a mac". There was a whole host of people who worked day and night trying to crack it. Someone even did it, wrote their own boot loader and installed XP on their Mac. Well done, thats like buying a ferrari and adding square wheels. Of course some more clever people tried the opposite, installing OSX on a PC....

Someone caused alarm by hinting that Apple may disregard OSX and go the Windows route. Of course everyone thought this man was an idiot.

It was then leaked that some developers at Apple were working on some Windows support, it was guessed perhaps getting applications to run under OSX (maybe a program like WINE in Linux)

But what has really happened??


http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

They are now offering mac users a tool to enable them to install Windows!!! The biggest downgrade of the century!

Vista was recently stalled....further driver support for Intel mac's perhaps?!?!

Looks like Micro$oft are eventually going to win.....

Sorry mac guys, you just lost an operating system that was actully good!

it saves folk fucking up their computer attempting to install windows.

Adding XP to a Mac IS fucking up your computer...

That's one of the big advantages of Mac's it's not Windows, but seeing as Billy Gates ripped off Apple in the first place with the first GUI version of Windows it seems OS has now come full circle.

heh, no point in buying a mac now really. You can run OS X on a pc and windows on a mac.

i do like macs myself but find them too expensive.

We've got Macs in all the studio's and i hate Mac's OS. Since they're the industry standard i cant wait for the Intel chip to appear in them. Screw Mac come on Intel.

Just wait, Ipods are next.

No i'm saying Microsoft were looking for a GUI liked the Apple GUI and ripped it off, i never once mentioned where Apple got their GUI from.
And just to clarify things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...rosoft_Windows
