Windows Drivers for Mac Rolling Out

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

OSXpert writes "Sure, we all know that Windows can now run on intel Apple Computers. Alas, the solution does not include drivers, and until now Mac users could still only hope to be able to use every application available to their Windows counterparts. However, with drivers now working 100% on the Mac Mini and drivers for the MacBook Pro only lacking video (which, by the looks of the 2nd link is only days away), Mac users now have a complete and working Windows solution."

  1. Yes, but why? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I could see running a Mac OS on a cheap PC box, but why should I run Mr. Gate's Fine Software on my pricey Mac box?

    For Linux partisans, doesn't the latest Mac OS offering give them their Unix scionfix?

    OK, I know this is an academic exercise - but why? Personally, I would rather see someone find a way to run Mac OS on cheap PC hardware, not the other way around.

    welp, i've got karma to burn..

    This is like putting a 4 cylinder Kia engine in your brand new Ferrari, just because you can. Putting XP on anything apple is a complete waste of time, and, I can't wait until Apple cracks down on this garbage, if they even decide to put forth the effort.

    Come on - you pay a premium price for a reason. Not because of the hardware, but what powers it. Take a gander at their system specs and try to build your own x86 box, you will do it cheaper, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Please, stop perpetuating this crap on Slashdot. It's completely worthless, and it just reeks of this immature 'because we can' attitude.
