Boot Camp boosts Apple's stock 8%

The stock is heading towards a 10% gain now. In one day, WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I think you missed the real reason. Opening up Apple computers to other oses, will make Microsoft's legal problems in Europe more difficult. Europe will likely force computer makers to sell compters that can boot in Linux, OSX and/or windows.

Apple will use this to offer Leopard to select PC makers, Sony, HP and maybe Gateway, but never Dell.
The real money for Apple would be to displace Vista with OSX.

Apple switched to Intel to show that OSX would be the better choice for PC users.

Apple might release 10.5 for Macs and PCs before Vista.

How much did Microsoft buy Virtual PC for? Wonder how long before they EOL it.

lets hope all the extra money apple makes goes into making osx even more desirable :) see the light ppl of the world (god im so sad)

I think CompUSA could boost their Mac sales by selling Macs with both OS X and Windows installed. I doubt they could get the same deal on Windows that, for instance, Dell does but there will be people that will pay a premium to have both ready to go. It would also give them an edge over Apple stores because I just can see Apple selling Macs with Windows preinstalled.

Things look great for Apple now. Hope they can make the best of the momentum and keep it going.
