but how well does XP run on a mac? in other words, can I load up my games & play them on a mac like I do with my PC now, or is it just a shell of XP-lite?
I don't get it. Why would a PC person buy a mac to run XP? I can understand it if a person needs to be able to run both, but not for the vast majority of users.
most people supposedly want a pc for games/some software they MUST use for whatever reason, but would like to still use OS X for web browsing, email, ilife - all that stuff
goatweed it runs on it because the new macs use intel chips. they're no different hardware wise from a regular pc now. it didn't work before because OS X doesn't use a BIOS, but a new thing called EFI. no version of windows supports that yet, so it couldn't boot on it (unless you use a hack that came out a few weeks ago)
But then you'd still need to reboot every time you switch between the two. It's not just emulating windows during a mac session.
for some people thats good enough, for now
also in the next os x this capabiliy is supposed to be built in, so they might spiffy it up to make it happen faster or something. its just a start
it's intriguing, and I'd be willing to give it a shot so long as it was stable & didnt use a 1 button mouse.
maybe thats what "mighty mouse" is for
Once you go Mac, you can never go back.
