Apple announced Boot Camp last week which makes it pretty easy to run Windows XP on one of the new macs with Intel Processors. We had a new iMac come through our office this week, so I decided to try it out…
As you can see it we got it running. It only took about an hour to get it up and that includes the time it took to complete update the mac (300 MB in downloads) and install Windows XP.
Apples’ Boot Camp utility makes the process pretty fool proof. It has a wizard that leads you through partitioning your hard drive for windows and then automatically creates a CD of all the drivers you’ll need to get everything running on a Mac.
Of course, all the Windows lovers say this is just a gimmick by Apple to sale more Macs and that may be true, but it’s pretty cool to be able to run Windows and Mac OS on the same computer. I’m just waiting for the virtual PC software to come out that will run XP in the Mac OS just as quickly as it does on my windows box. Then, Windows XP will just be another window in my dock.
