    Checkmate!!!!!

    Public Beta Software Enables Intel-based Macs to Run Windows XP
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"

    Or is it the beginning of the end - like Wang computers when they began being able to run Windows?

    I've run servers in a Unix based environment, where the host operating system has virtualization capabilities. I can then boot and run other guest OS’s independently of each other and the host OS. I can crash a guest OS and it has zero effect on the other OS’s running.

    If it’s done right one system crashing will have no effect on the other.

    I’m also wondering if I should wait on OS 10.5 before I buy a mini.

    Hax, updating the OS on a Mac is seamless, nothing at all like updating Windows.

    Probably not, they usually give you a free upgrade within a given time from purchase.

    And even if they do, no Mac OS up until this point has been copy protected, so I kinda doubt if they're gonna start now.

    oh wow.. i think its quite clear Apple has had most of this stuff working for ages (and probably told the development companies of the virtualization well in advance)..

    I see a macbook in my distant future.. very distant
