Hell Has Frozen Over. Again.

It is apparently never best to listen to Microsoft and Apple about what they say when it comes to getting their operating systems running on other computers.

Despite the earlier news of Vista not having (or having very little support of) EFI, people were able to get Windows XP running on a 20" Intel iMac. They also netted a nice little check (about 13,000.)

I haven't fully checked into the details yet, but it's pretty amazing.

Here's the news stories and such (which includes photos and a video.)

Sales of iMacs (and maybe even MacBooks, if confirmed,) might just go up even more, I think.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is even better than OS X on x86 Processors, now Mac users can run bloated software and a hacker friendly OS on their iMacs. How many people are really going to try this?

You'd be surprised.

I'm sure a lot of people would do it just for the novelty.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
