Boot Camp

Yes, it’s official. Intel-based Apple computers will run Windows XP. And Apple will give you the drivers and will help you install XP on your machine (original, standalone installation copy needed, though). The system, dubbed Boot Camp, should be included in the upcoming Mac OS X Leopard, but a public Alpha edition has been released.

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.

Now this is earth-shaking news!
