Apple's Boot Camp

The importance of this is that unlike the hacked solution, this provides full driver support.

And the target audience is most likely those who have a Mac, and like OSX, but need to run a Windows application or two. And for those that want to play Windows only games, no longer have to buy a whole new machine just to get in a few games.

It's great, and I'd be a heck of a lot more interested in it if they had a mid-range headless Mac.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Maybe someone would like an iMac class machine, but doesn't want to pay for the screen each and every time they upgrade their machine. Maybe they want to run this iMac class machine on a bigger screen than the iMacs come in.

I agree that Apple sells great screens, but it sucks that to use one of their Cinema displays you are expected to run a mini (low end) or a Powermac (obscenely high end).

How ya doing, buddy?

You've gotta ask yourself *why* MS would fight it.

This means that they get to sell more retail copies of Windows, which is a considerably higher profit margin for them than OEM. As far as they are concerned, why would it matter that it's going on an Apple branded machine as opposed to a Dell, HP, Acer, etc. machine?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

In other news, AE7 is still just as buggy and slow as shit on Apple as Windows. (A way of saying the third-party differentiation just isn't there, and that's where 90% of my work gets done.)

So the command line, or terminal in Windows is as important as it is on *nix?

What is AE7? The acronym doesn't ring a bell. But if that's all you use, and they haven't made their program for shit on OSX or Windows, then the only difference is which OS you like using more.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
