Windows Vista is now running on the new Intel-based Macs. "Managed to get Windows Vista installed today, with a bit of creative thinking. You see, Vista does not support Boot Camp's partitioning. There are some complex ways around this, but just to prove it can be done I booted from an XP CD, deleted the existing partitions and formatted the entire internal HD with NTFS. Once that's done, you can reset the iMac and insert your Vista DVD before the XP setup starts installing XP." In the meantime, CNet performed some tests, and concluded that Apple hardware is just as good at running Windows as any other x86 system. Ars reviews Boot Camp as well.

"I do not think it means what you think it means."
And since humans are by nature corrupt, I imagine those "one critical app" people will more than likely pirate their copy of XP, justifying it with "I won't pay $349 for one program I use an hour a day"..
You may be telling us about yourself rather than describing humanity. Philosphy has many branches and applications. Science, business, religion, sociology, warfare, politics, etc. The presumption of inherent corruption of the species is only a religico-moral point of view even if it is a presumption commonly used in political (or other) arenas.
Business philosophy dictates that if you need a certain facility in order to be productive and make money then the cost of it will be recovered at some point during the lifetime of the business practice that requires it if you have a functional business plan. If you don't then there is no point in stealing the facility since you can't succeed without a plan that will work. If that is beyond your capacity to understand then it isn't a fault in the general population, eh?
On the other hand perhaps I am mistaken because businesses are not people even though they may be assigned that status for purposes of regulation. After all some businesses are corrupt. But I think that the business world wouldn't work as well as it does if all businesses were corrupt because they are composed of corrupt individuals.
