I’ve been doing some listening and reading from the mac community on their take of the new mac boot software from Apple. For those of you still living in a cave, Boot Camp is the new (beta) software from Apple that allows any of their new Intel systems to dual boot Windows XP along side OS X.<\/p>\n
The buzz seems to be focused on whether Apple is considering a move to the (dark side) Windows OS. I don’t think this is the case at all. In fact, I think they are doing this for two reasons. 1 – It will allow a portion of the market gain the rewards of OS X while still being compliant if their company requires a windows system. 2 – Others will realize that Windows is inferior (overhead, performance, interface and most importantly security) by being able to compare the WinOS on their mac hardware. It’s only a matter of time before many Dual-Boot Users realize the risk they are putting themselves in by running WinOS. Sure OS X could get a virus, but everyone agrees that is far less likely than on a Windows system.<\/p>\n
My opinion (for whatever it’s worth) is that Apple is looking to sell even more of its product. Mac Boot will help in a number of ways – attracting the dual boot power user and restablishing that OS X is a better OS with the casual win xp professional.<\/p>\n
Now my only fear is that one of the next releases from Apple will be iLife for Windows. If that happens – start to worry. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
