    Officially released from Apple today, you can now download a beta version of "Boot Camp Beta" to run Windows XP on a new Mac Intel machine. On top of that, Apple's shares rose 7% this morning. This makes owning a mac ibook more atrtractive!

    here is the link: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/publicbeta.html

    Does any one actually use a mac here?

    Ive seen the demo of a macbook using both xp and apple os, where you can "alt-tab" style in and out of each OS, so no need to reboot.
    That was quite cool.

    Macs aren't trash. They are a lot more reliable than PCS. Macs recently got their first virus ever because of the Intel core running PC system. PCS crash all the time and you have to spend so much money buying fix & software upgrades
