A very detailed how to for installing and running Windows XP on an Intel iMac have been posted on the contest website. And on a related note, someone who almost won the contest posted his findings too: "While I'm disappointed not to have won, I'm encouraged to see that our approaches were remarkably similar. We both wrote custom EFI CSM drivers to emulate the BIOS functions Windows requires to boot. I'm very curious how they managed to get VGA working, and I won't be surprised if it doesn't work in either the Mini or the Macbook Pro, as it looks like they did all their development on an iMac."

The eventual goal of this is for microsoft to control the hardware side as well. In a couple of years running Windows on Macs will be common, then Windows apps will run better than equivalent Mac apps, then finally compatibility between Windows and non-Mac hardware will degrade. Eventually to get Windows to run optimally or even just correctly you will need the proprietary hardware, the hardware that started out being Mac hardware.
