OS X/Windows Dual Boot

Thursday, March 16, 2006

Update: Holy shit! Apple just released Boot Camp, their own Windows boot program and obviates the need for going through the lengthy hacks below. I wonder if the blogosphere pressured them into making it?

Oh my goodness, this is rad. Even though you knew it was going to happen at some point, it's still cool to see it finally happen. Link below via Jay Schreiber:

Contest won: WinXP boots on Intel Mac

“The contest for the first solution to boot Windows XP on an Intel-Mac has been won, according to a post on the official website. The contest had offered a cash reward of nearly $14,000 for the first successful solution...”

Digg has another dual-booting link as well.

I'm wondering if it'd be worth trying out an open source Windows Media Center-style setup? It could be fun to get a little Mythtv action going on a quiet and small Mac Mini if you don't wanna spring the dough for an Eyetv rig, especially since I'm planning to get a Mini anyway.

Mmmm, I dunno about that - free is cool but the new eyetv2 integration with video ipods looks killer.
