 Intel-based Apples will now run Windows XP as well as OSX
Apple said it had no plans to sell or support Windows but added that many Mac owners have said they want to run the operating system on their Intel-using machine.
"We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing in a statement.
When Boot Camp is run it takes users through a series of steps that shows them how to split their hard drive so the two operating systems can sit side-by-side.
It also shows how to make a boot disk to install the Windows XP operating system.
When a machine with the two operating systems is turned on, Boot Camp gives them the option to start either OSX or Windows XP.
This will be a great thing for people who LOVE Mac, such as I do, but find Windows works best with school and business!
