This is a good thing. It'll help more and more Windows users to make the switch over to a Mac.

OSX already is a target right now with or without Windows users and I still think that OSX is an inherently more secure that WinXP will ever hope to be because of it's FreeBSD lineage. All the supposed OSX vunerabilities so far have been pretty tame affairs.PS: and if you guys think i'm being paranoia, go ahead and shoot, but make sure you shoot your ownself first.... that's why I've said Apple is getting cheaper and cheaper.... sooner or later it will just be another Micro$oft.... |

with boot camp, there will be more and more switchers. maybe soon we will see a bunch of sleek imacs instead of boring old beige (or in dell's case, grey) PCs.
people are afraid to jump on the mac bandwagon because they are afraid of compatibily. now that windows can run natively, apple will definitely make more money! although hardcore mac fans will not like this though. |

Here's a tiny bit of trivia for all you mac fanatics out there:
"The PC wars are over, Done" says Steve Jobs. "Microsoft won a long time ago." - quoted from Fortune magazine in 1996. Sourced from this article = http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/05/ap...ndows_timeline/ |

"Microsoft won a long time ago." - quoted from Fortune magazine in 1996.

Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade." - Wired magazine, February 1996. And then OS X was released in the following decade (2001), SPOT ON! |

Sourced from this article = http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/05/ap...ndows_timeline/ Call me a fanatic if you want, but i'd really have to say this. Mac is like a cult, like one's religion. Devouts get angry when their religion is desecrated, hardcore mac-fans get dishonoured (if you will) when their cult is oppressed, in this case - Apple's abandoning innovation in favour of dominion. |

Dude you need to calm down, Apple making life easier for some people to install Windows on their Macs doesn't mean they're gonna produce cheap quality Macs in the future. They know what they're doing.
Anyway, I like how Apple lets you install Windows on its machines and openly mocks it at the same time. QUOTE EFI and BIOS Niceeeeee.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. 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. |
