MaxOS X does run on a WinTel box. Sort of. There is just a huge lack of driver support. Getting it to install takes some hacking, and unless you build a system to closely match the hardware inside of an iMac/Mac Mini you wont get support for wireless networking, graphics, or wired networking. So, while it runs, its more of a geek badge of pride than something useful.
BootCamp is little more than a collection of Windows drivers to support the Mac hardware. The real magic is in the recent firmware update that adds the necessary CSM to the EFI implementation that Apple had initially left out. This is what allows the booting of legacy operating systems, including non-EFI Linux. Oh, and today a company called Parallels released a beta of their Virtualization software for MacOS X Intel (like VMWare) allowing the option of running Windows from within MacOS X rather than dual-booting. How ya doing, buddy? |
