TheAge reports: Hackers get windows XP on Apple computers
“As expected, hackers have found a way to run Microsoft Corp.’s Windows XP operating system on new Macintosh computers, winning an ad hoc contest and a $US13,854 cash prize to boot.”Or, make that dual-boot - the way to make a computer switch between two operating systems.
Definately as expected. Now that the boundaries between the architecture are being over turned, we should all be happily at control of our environment for our workstations. I don’t think this scenario is quite a good as MAC on PC. But a lot of Studios force junior web developers to work on Mac’s because of their sleek presentation and they often can’t get the benefit our of the Mac OS X environment, often crying for thier PC back. Maybe this will allow both parties to be happy?
For those of you who are interested, I have found an article on AppleTalk, have a look how to do it here:

I wonder if that name I made up (previously an oxymoron) will take off. […]
