A few weeks back, i wrote that some hackers had managed to get one of those new and nifty Macintoshen to dual-boot with OSX and Windows XP. The response i expected from Apple was that this was immoral, illegal… and… just plain wrong and it should be taken away.

Nope.

As an answer, Apple announced Boot Camp, an easy and supported way to double-boot your Intel-Mac. Public beta out now.

Elsewhere, Microsoft and Sony are working double shifts to ensure no hacker will ever be able to boot their gaming consoles with anything but the official and sanctioned stuff. Is this Apple seems to practice their motto “Think Different”. Hats off!
