Apple validates and dismisses Windows on Mac at the same time

@ Ryan

I'm familiar with that. I feel that windows is a BIG threat on the Mac in this form. Microsoft is a huge threat. Guys like me fought for twenty years to keep the MAc and MAC OS alive and safe from M$. Tho, at present, Mac OS is still the most stable and powerful of the two. When Vista comes out, we'll see. but this is now.

Has anyone thought of how this can effect software developers of Apple machines? I for one, Will use this "Boot Camp". But ONLY to play one or two games on. I'll put it on the level of my Microsoft Xbox sitting next to me now. I urge other Macolytes to do the same.

Do not become tempted to become dependant on windows. If you do, every thing you love about apple will go to the wayside.

How funny it was to see a BSOD on a Mac. I didn't even notice those little blurbs on the site, but it's hilarious. I love how Apple hugs Windows with one arm and stabs them in the back with the other.

There are definitely reasons I'd like to be able to use Windows on my Mac notebook. A lot of schools use crappy attendance and record keeping software that only runs on Windows. So, often teachers are forbidden to buy an Apple computer with the specious argument that "you won't be able to use the crummy PC software we're making you use". That's true even if teachers are versatile and very productive on their Macs. So, in my school, it'd make those few instances in a day or a week where I need to use windows a simple task and I get to keep my Apple notebook.

The last time I checked on this blog it seemed that this blog was blasting John C. Dvorak for saying Apple will move to windows. I belive they JUST did. So I think you guys owe an appology. Oh and i would be surprised that if by 20007/08 Mac OSX is gone for good.

MUHAHAHHA

It's funny cause it's true!

i know, they are so cool

@ Leo:

I believe you can run media center, BUT, you would have to take the 2 CD's and burn the contents onto a single disc because the eject button for the cd drive (located on the keyboard) does not work yet because of the lack of drivers for it. i think what you would have to do is take the 2 discs, burn disc one like normal, but put all of disc 2's contents into a folder which you would be able to navigate to when the setup asks you for disc 2

I love the "stop hacking people - here you go", I love the "need a new machine but _have_ to use Windows?" angle, I love the "buy it for WIndows and try out the OS". However, I hate Windows and would rather have an iMac drop on my head than have one running Windows. Overall, a very crafty move from Apple - as long as OS X doesn't go the opposite way...

I think this is great! People will see that "word to the wise" and after getting repeatedly infected with spyware/adware/pop-ups/etc... they will eventually say "man...that word to the wise was right...screw this, Im just using OSX from now on!" Score for Apple (the computer company, not the Beatles music label)

I wonder if you can load Windows Media Center
