officially official
April 5th, 2006
i guess the speculation was that apple wasn’t going to go this far with the whole windows on a mac business, but it turns out they just released a public beta for a boot camp which does exactly that. the truth is that having a mac and a pc is nicer if you can use em at the same time, but at least I won’t have to wait for the mac release of spore. propz to steve.
note that the boot camp page, in usual apple fashion, is not without some ‘tude:
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.
