Windows arrives on the Mac at last

Well, it's pretty much here now: Windows on the Mac.

So the drivers will probably need a couple of weeks of tweaking, but dual boot Windows XP/Mac is now feasible, meaning there is now no point in ever buying another beige box.

So, MacIntel laptops look like the best hardware solution for my next machine, and all the little teething problems should be sorted out by the time I'm ready for one!

The only problem I can see here is that there will be even more strain on Apple's supply chain than there already is, but I suppose they can crank up the Chinese factories a bit.

With the 60Gb iPod being put on the "at risk" list, perhaps in time for an announcement for a new big screen/PDA version for Apple's 30th anniversary on 1st April, this may be the most momentous time in Apple's history.
