Mac OS X "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?

My guess would be that more will port *to* the Mac.

Dual booting is just a way for Apple to win more users. You can bet they've extensively studied the MS Windows XP experience vs. the Mac OS X experience on the same hardware and are confident that theirs is better.
