Is Apple’s OS X the Best Way to Run Microsoft Vista?

If you want interesting insight about using Macs to run the next Microsoft OS, Vista, be sure to check out I, Cringely’s latest column. If true virtualization is achieved in the next version of OS X aka Leopard, then users can run both OS X 10.5 and Vista concurrently. This could have the side effect of securing Vista since hackers would have to deal with OS X’s security in order to get to Vista.

Given Microsoft’s difficulties with data security and its long history of troubled OS introductions, there is the very real possibility that the Apple version of Vista will be by far the most stable. For awhile it might be the ONLY stable version. So Apple could, in a way, be Microsoft’s savior.

Interesting possible turn of events.
