XP on Macs [Apr 05, 2006, 10:07 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Apple
Launches Software to Run Windows XP is the announcement (wisely not released
on April 1) announcing a patch for Intel-based Macs to boot either MacOS or
Windows XP:
The computer maker said its new "Boot Camp" software is available as a download beginning Wednesday. It allows users with a Microsoft Windows XP installation disc to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac computer.
"Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors," Philip Schiller, Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.
Boot Camp makes it easier to install Windows software on an Intel-based Mac, with a step-by-step guide. It also lets users choose to use either Mac OS X software, or the Windows software when they restart their computer.
Users can download the new Boot Camp software from Apple's Web site. A final version of Boot Camp will be available as a feature in the upcoming Mac OS X version 10.5 "Leopard."
You further reinforce my belief that mac users have sex with their computers.
XP home supports dual core processors as well as multithreading. It's only when you go dual processors that you need xp pro. So the only point to using xp pro is jacking up the price of the dell in your flawed comparison.
Stop saying dumb things like "the dell gets a slightly larger screen" and use one of the 15" dells for comparison instead.
Yeah those software are available for both platforms, which make my earlier 2500 vs 1540 and 2000 vs 1133 comparisons actually truthful.
And once again folks, Dual Core != Dual Processor, you do NOT need XP Pro. So you guys can save some money next time.
