"More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today." My Take: Is this possible? We've been talking about virtualization on Leopard for a few days now, but did anyone see this coming?

...I thought it was a belated April fools - even when I went to the apple page I thought it was a joke...but I am excited!
Yes, I would have prefered virtualization, and "fast user switch" but for another OS would have been even better - but it is a step in the right direction.
I think that narf and blanka earned their money - and proved that people do indeed want the best of both worlds - I do not blame apple for not releasing this earlier.
Now there is no reason to buy anything else ;-)
University computer labs can have one kind of machine (hardware wise) which cuts down on costs - and they can run whatever OS they want.
