Mac Bootcamp: OS X Eats Windows
I agree with Fred Wilson: I don't really want Bootcamp -- the ability to boot Windows on a Mac, per se -- what I want is to boot both at the same time, and switch back and forth:
[from A VC: One Step Closer to Conversion by Fred Wilson]Today Apple announced a beta release of Boot Camp which allows you to boot the MacBook Pro (and all other Intel based Macs) in either OSX or XP.
That's not completely ideal (what I really want is to be running both OS's at the same time and be able to toggle back and forth between apps on both), but its a step closer.
Like Virtual PC, except running Windows apps natively. Virtual PC is really slow, although it may run faster on the new duo machines.
Still, this is another step forward, and represents a turning point, since so many people hold out against Mac because they just have to run one or two Windows apps.
