"boot camp"
i think apple decided to freeze over hell, just for the fun of it :P the basic gist isit allows dual booting of OS X and Windows XP Home or Professional. you provide the WinXP installer and 10 gigs of free disk space to install it and boot camp handles the rest i'm pretty sure this will sell a hell of a lot of MacIntels. |

I actually brought that up already.
 We tested Boot Camp out at work. Someone told me to go over and log into one of our eMacs. I literally gasped when it booted up to the Windows prompt. But everything worked fine for it. From what the technician who did the job told me, the installation and set up is very simple, and the Apple-provided drivers all work. The keyboard even recognizes Ctrl-Alt-Del and those sorts of commands. |

It didn't lag in my tests.
There's no reason it should lag, because there's nothing at all that needs to be emulated—Windows runs natively on the hardware. |

"Windows is a great operating system," a Microsoft statement said. "We're pleased that Apple customers are excited about running it, and that Apple is responding to meet the demand."
Microsoft responds. |
