QUOTE(UNDEAD 1 @ 04/05/06 11:27am)  Yeah, this makes Apple a KILLER platform. You can run UNIX, Mac OS and now Windows all at native speeds. Think of all the iPod users out there who love the phenomenal design of their pod who will now switch to the Apple platform. This is truly great news. |

QUOTE(UNDEAD 1 @ 04/05/06 2:18pm) i think the question is ,does this leave mac open to virus now ? It certainly does when you are running Windows XP on the new Intel-based Macs. There are reports of some holes in Mac's traditionally bullet proof armor when running these new machines - exploits that take advantage of known security holes with the Intel chip, but obviously, Apple engineers are patching them as soon as they become known. They've already released a couple of security updates. I can't imagine that anyone would buy an Intel-based Mac simply to run Windows. That would be a pretty dumb decision. This new **free** software, "Boot Camp" that enables us to run Windows XP on Intel-based Macs, will most likely be used by people who have the odd application they need to run that doesn't come in an OS X version. Virtual PC was a program I used to use when I needed to do run Windows apps. It would run Windows in emulation mode on the Mac. It worked fine and enabled me to design my house using a CAD program that wasn't available for the Mac OS. One advantage it had was that I could switch back and forth between the Windows environment and Mac as easily as switching applications. As I understand it, "Boot Camp" will require that you reboot the computer. That said, Virtual PC was never robust enough for gaming, this new software means you can run Windows games at native speeds! |
