BEAUTIFUL! It's been slashdotted. And just when I was about to put my MacBook up on Ebay.

Awesome, so now you can have XP running on your whining Macbook!

I'm still waiting for VMWare or MS to offer a virtual PC for the Intel iMac. Being able to boot into Windows is ok, but being able to bring up a running Windows emulator (running at native cpu speed) will be the real winner for me.

Er, but why? Isn't the whole idea of buying an Apple to run Apple's OS?

Some of us need Windows apps too. One of the biggest for me is Quicken. The Mac version of Quicken seems about a decade behind the Windows version development-wise. Dual booting just to get at Quicken seems like an awful lot of bother; it's easier to just keep an old WIndows machine running and access is using Remote Access, however, even better would be to run native Windows Quicken in a vmware-like window under OS X.

Why is it a "whining" MacBook?

Read the URL I posted; a lot of macbooks are being sent back because of an Apple production problem causing them to "whine"'

Here is a link to a video clip of one of the whiners:

Oh, I see. Didn't read the article.
My Pro-Apple defense system has been on high alert since the switch to Intel. ;)

yeah, this was just cracked a couple days ago, and confirmed yesterday. Nice that the guy got 14K$ for cracking it, I think I like this type of CHALLENGE.

I downloaded the code and might try it on an external to the new intelimac, blog says there are lots of driver issues still, but this is a NICE first start.

Mine hasn't done that thankfully, but then again I've only played with it a bit. It's not my main machine. I bought it hoping I could do the triple-play thing (Linux/OS X/WinXP).

i mac mini
 

i think this will have a big impact on the sale of apple computers.

i have 3 friends who ordered the mac mini today after i told them the xp story.

i will try to install a dual boot system too.

IMHO the best Mac would be one running XP.

Macs look nice, have some sweet features, but 95% of people don't buy them because of the MacOS. Being able to install Windows on them will only help increase Apples market share.

I have some applications I use for clients that only run on Windows XP which keeps me from buying a Mac.

If this is true, it would be a relieve for Apple...It wouldn't have to develop, service an operating system for 5% of their customer. However, the 5% might be totally wrong. I know some Apple users (advertising industry), they all buy Apples because of the MacOS...they love it!

......The solution enables the Windows XP service pack 2 version to run on a Mac. Nederkoorn wrote that traffic to his site has surged so much that he has had to get a new Internet host for the site. An Apple spokeswoman declined comment on the contest. Apple officials have said they have no desire for Windows to run on their hardware.
