Yesterday, the Apple world was atwitter (not to mention WallStreet) with the release of BootCamp, the dual boot utility that will let you load Windows XP onto an Intel Mac. As you know, I am an Apple enthusiast. This is good news. Maybe I will have an audience for my software.
Why is it good for Apple? They are a hardware vendor. More people buy Macs the more they profit. Apple is hoping for spill over affect. Come for the XP stay for the OS X. Also, games. Want Apple games? Here's XP. Suckas!
Anyhow, I really can spout off on this but it's best to let the Apple pundits take care of the brilliance of this move.
Update:
Here's some more good info on whether to buy Apple stock. It seems that Apple is going to go big this summer. Continuing on the XP as the "New Classic" here and here.
