Boot XP on Intel Macs with software from Apple
I come back from a walk in
the park with my son, and what do I find? Apple has released Boot
Camp, a tool for installing Windows XP on Macs. Sure, someone else beat them to the
punch, but this is highly unusual for two reasons. One, Apple almost never releases a public beta (at least, not
for free, as in OS X). Two, this is pretty much saying, "we know you still need Windows for stuff." Either
way, it's most excellent for everyone. This move has some thinking OS X might be heading to PC's
everywhere, in a sort of tit-for-tat bizarro-world twist. May we live in interesting times indeed. Is it just me or
is the icon they're using a little off-putting?[Via TUAW]

This is huge, for me and for Apple. I had been holding off on purchasing a MacBook because I didn't want first generation hardware, but I just purchased a MacBook to replace my PowerBook G4 1.5ghz and my Dell Inspiron. For me it means conveniently carrying around 6lb of laptops instead of 13lb, and for Apple it means a BIG boost in hardware sales...
