Windows XP on Intel Mac Confirmed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-do-you-want-to-do-tonight-pinky dept.

niemassacre writes "According to winxponmac.com, the contest has been won - nearly $14k to narf2006 for submitting a working solution to dual-booting Windows XP and Mac OS X on an Intel-Powered mac. A thread on osx86project.org has confirmations from several testers that the procedure works on the 17" iMac, the Mac mini, and the MacBook Pro. Many sets of pictures and videos (such as this installation video) are floating around (and mentioned in the thread). The solution itself should be posted soon." Poit! Congratulations to narf.

    ...a Mac that can boot OS X, XP, and Linux? Now that would be impressive.

    Flexability. Having a laptop that can Boot, Mac OS, Linux, Windows, *Solaris x86, *BSDs, and others. You can run applications for 99.999% of all the modern software written on one computer.

    *I haven't seen any proof of these OS's actually running on a Mac.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    Yeah! Imagine what a beowulf cluster of these things could do?
