Boot Camp... No Longer for Enlistees...

from cupertino
a plethora of ideas
shaming micro$oft

If you look closely at that photo to the side, you'll notice two important elements, the first being the Apple Dual Core Mac, the second being the Windows XP desktop. How is this seamless integration possible you wonder? Boot Camp, the latest Apple development for its Intel based Macs. The concept is simple -- instead of using VIrtual PC to emulate a PC environment on an Apple, Apple has gone one step further and created PC support on its hardware platform... and get this... it's free. All that's required of you is Windows XP with Service Pack 2, easily downloadable from your favorite software/prog zone.

Rather than emulating the PC environment, Boot Camp allows you to boot your Apple where you can chose Mac OS or Windows XP. After your choice, you computer loads that operating system with no problem. No emulation, pure hardware support. Let's say you're an Architecture student and require AutoCad, no longer are you forced into a Windows based PC. With these new Apples you can load AutoCad onto your Windows partition and then once you've finished AutoCad-ing what ever it was you were creating, export it to a mac friendly application for finishing touches.

Gamers will love it because not only is the Apple hardware of a better quality, but the software has significantly less bugs as it's based on a UNIX hybrid. Rarely does my Apple crash, and when it does, it's usually my fault. With Boot Camp and the new Mac Book Pros, there is no need to ever look at a Windows machine again. If you want maximum compatibility and the best hardware, then Apple is the way to go.

Of course there will be those that doubt the significance of this achievement, but they're also the same people that deny the Holocaust existed. This is the tipping point folks, begin the downfall of Micro$oft and the rise of Apple. Soon prices will drop, quality will remain on the up and up, and the consumer will be left scratching their heads asking aloud, "Why didn't I do this long ago?".



When you unpack your Intel Apple and realise the difference from your out date PC you'll thank me...
