Windows XP boots on Intel Mac: Proof?
narf2006, the guy who posted some low-quality photos to Flickr of Windows maybe booting on an Intel iMac, has now produced video evidence of the feat in action, and it actually looks pretty convincing. The video goes through the whole (uneventful) install process all the way through through a full boot, and narf2006 spends some time showing off the Control Panel and System Properties. Though such things can surely be faked, he has sent his technique to Colin Nederkoorn, the guy running the $12,000 XP-on-Mactel contest, so we ought to know soon.

I say it is a fake. Why is he moving that camera like crazy back and forth? Why not hold still and use a tripod or someting else to put the camera on? Why is that other screen so close? Well we will see...

At the end of the movie look at the device manager, it lists "Batteries" as a device. If it's running on an iMac, there is no battery! I'm running XP on my desktop PC and there is no "Batteries" device listed in the device manager. This is not footage of it running on an iMac. Whatever it is (a full screen movie probably), it's running on a laptop.
