An anonymous reader writes "CNET.com.au has posted a commentary that attempts to cut away the hype surrounding Boot Camp. From the article: 'Boot Camp will do little to coax Windows XP users into switching to Mac OS X. For this to happen, Apple needs to either license out OS X to all users -- not just Mac owners -- or support a true Mac virtualisation application.'"

    Boot camp is a sales pitch, not a product

    Customer: Tell me about this laptop, its pretty

    Salesman: Its a mac, look how shiney it is.

    Customer: Oh, I don't want one of those, it doesn't run Windows.

    Salesman: It has this clever boot camp thing that lets you put windows on it.

    Customer: Oh, okay, I'll take one then.

    Once the customer gets home and starts using MacOS X, they won't bother with installing Windows.
