I'm no virus expert, but AFAIK the damage a virus could cause varies widely so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Windows partition being attacked and affects the entire system, say to the EFI or (some kinda) damage to the HDD, that's destructive enough.
On the other hand, like some pointed out, it really got me wonder what are the incentives left to the developers to port their softwares to Mac environment from now on, seeing that asking the users to install Windows on Mac is hell lot easier than porting software across the platform. |

And everytime a system file changes it asks you for permission so you know when a virus wants to do something. I wish I could use bootcamp, but OSX is on the other partition lalala This post has been edited by Joey-kun: Apr 8 2006, 06:15 PM |

it doesn't. the single click becomes very irritating... on the other hand, all intel based iMac comes with Mighty Mouse (2 button). MacBook Pro and intel Mac Mini... get your own 2 button mouse la

QUOTE(siawgu @ Apr 6 2006, 12:50 PM) I installed into my apple.. it really can run.. nice.. Hey Siawgu, I noticed that you also had problems detecting the a "PCI device" on your Mac mini. I assume that you've also got a problem with audio? I've installed a friend's hacked copy of Windows XP SP2 on a Core Duo 1.66MHz Mac mini, which works fine except that the sound card wasn't detected by the operating system (Hence, the "Unknown Device" under the System Hardware Profile panel). I just curious to know if you've really got a legit, non-OEM retail copy of Windows XP SP2 installed coz nobody else seems to have this problem. -Chris |

why is this a bad thing for apple?
more windows users will want to get a mac now, because they do not need to worry if they do not like apple's OS. if apple's OS is that good, naturally even windows users will start to use apple's OS... ONLY! |

More reason for me to switch from PC to Mac. Yeah. I'm going to buy myself Intel Mac Mini as my next upgrade. I use it as media center, workstation etcetc. If I want to play games, I just buy myself a consoles like PS3 or Nintendo. Price doesn't matter to me.
