Mac (Hardware) Officially Does Windows
My how things have changed! Today, Apple officially endorsed the installation and running of Microsoft Windows XP on Intel-based Mac hardware. Using Apple’s Boot Camp (in public beta), legal WinXP users can install XP on a Mac and dual boot between the “X” operating systems, OS X and XP.
There have been recent hacks that allowed the installation of XP on Mac hardware, but now Apple’s making this an official reality. Why would you want to run XP? I don’t know, but if you got to, you might as well run it on the best and most elegantly designed hardware on the market.
Now I definitely need a MacBook Pro!

Games.
Games is why I’d run Windows. That’s all. I hope to soon see some speed checks.

I’m not a gamer so not really a factor for me. Besides I rather have a game systems like a PS or even an XBox for games.
Walt Mossberg said running Windows on an Intel iMac was “blazingly fast.”
