Apple software brings Windows to Macs
I don’t usually report on news items, but this is historical. From money.cnn.com:
Boot Camp will let users with a Microsoft (Research) Windows XP installation disc install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac computer. Once installation is complete, users can restart their computer to run either Mac OS X or Windows.
“Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said in a statement.
"We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch."
I’ve already laid out for myself an argument to upgrade to a high-end Mac sometime next year and this announcement could be the final nail on the coffin. At some point I’ll write about my arguments but for now, I had to at least mention this here.
