Windows on Macs: Shocking, Even if Inevitable
Apple last week offered free software called Boot Camp that lets users run Windows XP on its new Intel-based Macintoshes. This, according to BBS News, has provoked a stir and set the hi-tech world buzzing. On the other hand, it was only a matter of time before someone did. Two weeks earlier, two San Francisco Bay Area developers, in response to a $13,000 Internet contest, came up with a workaround that demonstrated Windows XP could be made to run on the Mac. An open source project was rumored to be under way. It may not be all that practical, but many techies won't be able to resist. What's next to expect? Might that be the official OS X on PCs?
