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. Word to the Wise Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes. lmfao! Tell us what you really think Apple! EFI and BIOS

I wonder if Apple will start selling machines with both operating systems pre-installed? That would be pretty wild. It's hard to imagine, but with this recent annoucement, it seems like anything is possible.

Theoretically, you could outfit an entire classroom with new Intel Macs and set them up to dual boot Windows and OS X. If you had a class that needed Macs, and a class right behind them that needed PCs, all you'd have to do is reboot the machines.

This is really going to change the landscape of personal computing. When you go out to buy a new home computer, do you buy one that can run both OS X and Windows, or do you buy one that can only run Windows? I know there are some price concerns, but Apple is ever closing that gap with things like the mini and the iBook. I can’t wait to see what Apple releases for the professional line of towers.
