What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff
So, yeah, Boot Camp. Beyond the initial "Holy fucking shit" response, let's look at this technically. From all the reports, it sounds like the actual Boot Camp software package isn't that complicated. It's mostly just a clever partitioning utility and an Intel Mac driver pack for Windows XP SP2. (Though, it is exciting that there are native video drivers. Hello Windows gaming!) Where the real magic lies is the firmware updates. Again, the reports make it sound like Apple has finally exposed the legacy BIOS compatibility layer that Intel always promised was possible for EFI. Thus, you should be able to run any x86 operating system, including the latest Windows Vista CTP builds. (Ah, the subtle pleasures of being an MSDN Professional subscriber!)Posted by Jeffrey at April 5, 2006 7:08 PM
