I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

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.

Once you go Mac, you can never go back.
