Macs do Windows, too

Apple Boot Camp is a boot loader, setup assistant and set of drivers that lets you run Windows XP natively on Intel-Macs. Free beta now, part of the operating system from upcoming OS X Leopard on.

Not a belated April Fool's joke, but an interesting move that should tear down a major hurdle for those fellows that want a Mac but also need a Windows box for these one or two important applications that are Win only. The "XP prepared"-label might also help company workers to persuade their buying agents to finally order an Apple notebook or two ;-)

Still waiting for the virtual sandbox inside OS X to run Windows in. Rebooting is annoying.

Migration and repair works in progress, so things might look a bit odd at the moment
