Mac enthusiasts have likely already heard but those who’ve never computed on an Apple and have only used computers that run Microsoft’s Windows operating system ought to take note of this news: The next version of Apple’s operating system will have a utility that will allow an Intel-based Macintosh to run either Apple’s OS X operating system or Microsoft’s Windows XP. No, it is not a software emulator, but Apple’s version of BIOS which will allow WinXP to run natively on the Intel hardware you can now find in today’s Macintosh.
I’ve got a Cube and an old iMac at home but we’re all WinXP at the office. I’m not sure I need that kind of functionality as there is only one propriertary software package we use at CTV and I can access that from any computer with an Internet connection through a Citrix server.
Still — fascinating news from Apple.
