The Apple Core: Apple Endorses Windows XP Booting with
Boot Camp

Apple has released a public beta of a product they're calling Boot Camp that will let you dual boot an Intel-based Mac into Windows XP. According to the public beta Web site "Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy (of Windows)... Boot Camp will burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don't have to scrounge around the Internet looking for them."

My Take
Ah, 'tis a sad day when Apple's stock price goes up based on the news that Mac hardware will now run Windows. I was hoping that this would never happen, to be completely honest. I don't WANT people to run Windows on their Mac's. You want to run Windows, GET A PC! Windows (and Microsoft) are a true blight on the face of computing. If business in general is not capable of realizing that they've embraced a flawed, unreliable, untrustworthy piece of shit... FUCK 'EM! They deserve to pay for the systems they've invested in. It's not like they couldn't pull their collective heads from their asses and do something different. They CHOOSE not to. They CHOOSE to continue on the path they've chosen for themselves, because it' really IS something they've "invested" in. OK, fine. Keep funding your investment. Those of us who are smart enough to realize that Microsoft is NOT the way to go, need not cater to your stupidity.
I sincerely hope that those that DO choose to use this new "Boot Camp" technology, do so only to bridge the gap until such time as they are completely able to rid themselves of Windows and Microsoft all together.
