Windows on a Mac

I know that there are a lot of PC users out there like me that would like to run our favorite OS on Mac hardware and now we can. Apple – Boot Camp is software created by Apple that will allow you to dual boot your computer between Windows and MacOS.

The funnt thing about the download page is that it is black and white instead of really being color, you have to wonder how much push Steve Jobs gave to this project and just like you would expect Apples version of the Windows logo is much cooler looking than Microsofts own logo for XP

Here is what you need besides the 83 meg download for your Mac:

Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.6 (check Software Update)
The latest Firmware update (check Support Downloads)
10GB free hard disk space
An Intel-based Mac
A blank recordable CD
A printer for the instructions (You’ll want to print them before installing Windows, really.)
A bona fide installation disc for Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 2, Home or Professional (No multi-disc, upgrade or Media Center versions.)

I am still not sure wether you can actually run the files that you have created on your Mac or access that partition at all but I am sure we will see more on that in the next few days.
