And, from the "Strange But True" category comes this bit of news:

Apple has released a piece of software (more like a 'solution' but whatever) to allow Intel Macs to boot Windows. WINDOWS!

Not the weird hacks you've seen reported online -this is the real deal, supported-by-Apple, dual boot scheme, including Apple supplied Windows drivers, and a way to easily partition your hard disk.This is seriously cool, and seriously bold.

I'm impressed and a little taken aback. I hope this goes well for them. Also, I'm starting to see clearer why the big switch to Intel happened - this type of thing would not have been possible with the PPC stuff.

Another thought about the Boot Camp stuff.... this is probably not only directed at Windows - this is what is more commonly referred to as a bootloader. In fact they're probably using the BootX software that was used with Mac OS X since the begining.

And as a general bootloader technology, it should work just fine for installing different versions of Linux, *BSD, and possibly even separate installs of Mac OS X or a Solaris x86 install. I think this is the first time a major consumer OS has included bootloader functionality like this, and I think the 'geek' world will take very kindly to this, if what I have suggested is in fact possible. If it's something that ONLY works with Windows it's impact will lessened.
