Major Apple Announcement!
Well, now it's official. You can run Windows XP and OS X on the new Intel Macs. Apple has released a program (now called Boot Camp) that will allow you to "dual boot" either to Windows XP or to OS X on startup.
What makes this so significant? Well, I believe that many people do not want to buy Macs simply because they are so used to Windows and don't want to learn a new operating system. I think we can all agree that Macs definitely LOOK nicer than any PC out there. So, I think this will help get some of these Macs into homes that wouldn't have them there before. Once they are in the homes, people are bound to at least check out this whole "OS X" thing, because after-all, it's on their computer now in their house, and they paid for it. Speaking from personal experience, it only takes a Windows user a few weeks inside OS X to make them want to abandon Windows all-together.
All-in-all, I am very excited about this. Now, I will have access to those "Windows only apps," and can easily switch back and forth between environments. Thanks Apple!
