Going To Boot Camp

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sir-yes-sir dept.

An anonymous reader writes "PC World has first impressions of what it's like to run Windows with Boot Camp, the recently announced official dual-boot software for the Intel Macs." From the article: "Back in Windows, I got right down to business and installed a few games to put the graphics and sound support to the test. The quick and dirty verdict on performance? Most impressive. Doom 3 and Far Cry both ran smoothly with high-end graphics options turned on. In both cases, I had to tweak visual settings manually, since the games automatically set themselves to very low settings. Far Cry, for example, autodetected very low settings, but it ran without a hitch when I bumped the resolution up to 1280 by 720, with all visual quality options set to 'High.'"

  1. Microsoft Tax? by rubberbando · · Score: 1, Troll

    Does that mean that now that it's possible to run Windows on a Mac that Microsoft will expect everyone who buys a Mac to pay their tax reguardless of whether the buyer actually plans on using Windows on it?
