Boot Camp - run Windows on Macs
I was holding out for a smaller MacBook Pro, but the news from Apple today may force me to give in a lot sooner. No, it's not some new hardware to die for; rather, this time it's software.
Boot Camp allows us to install Windows XP on any Mac with an Intel chip. After installation, we can boot up from either XP or OS X. This has big implications for many, but I'm just happy to finally able to watch shows on now.com.hk, a service I subscribed for years but never use because it requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player (WMP) on the Windows side. Also, able to play DRM movies and music on WMP are a nice bonus.
Before I leap into a buying the MacBook Pro, I think I'll try Boot Camp on my sister's new Mac mini first and see how things go.
