Bounty For Booting XP on the Intel iMac

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-a-waste dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The race is on. You can try to get the bounty for booting Windows XP on iMac. At this moment there is $2773 waiting for the winner. However several people have brickified their iMacs when playing with EFI." I imagine those tech support calls are hysterical ;)

    So that you can run games produced by brain-dead companies (e.g. Half-Life [2]), but still use Mac OS for everything else?

    Running an OS from the Evil Empire on a Cultist piece of equipment! Wow, truly the odd couple!

    It will only expand his already dangerously unstable ego and agitate his cult followers. Best to endure the occasional "I use Mac and that makes me better than you. Would you like some of our Koolaid?" rant politely than to risk what he and his hollow-eyed Mac-fanatics might do if we set them off.
