So Intel macs can now do either or... incredible. I had no idea this was coming... and I aim to get me an Intel mac now.

One thing I just considered, if Macs are now going to start running Windows, then where is the incentive for 3rd party software developers to create Mac versions of their software? Hmm... maybe this is going to shoot Apple in the foot.

Allowing Intel to screw around with Macs is what's going to shoot them in the foot. I don't think the average customer is tech-savvy enough to set up a dual boot system.

Well, the couple weeks i've had to play around with Boot Camp have been productive... it's actually rather easy. You pretty much just follow the assistant. Even the total fuckwad at our company can do it, and if he can, I think anyone can.

Some Apple resellers are now selling IntelMacs with XP and OS X preinstalled...
