I think Hell must have frozen over.

Apple has announced that they are officially sanctioning use of Windows on Intel based Macs. Called Bootcamp , the public beta is available on the Apple site. It seems that they have been planning this for some time but weren't going to release it until OSX.5 was being shipped. I'm guessing that the success on XP on a Mac Contest caused Apple to make the release ahead of schedule.

I think that this opens up very interesting opportunities for Apple. This could represent a tipping point in their desktop and laptop strategy. You can't run OSX on a PC...at least not yet.

Mac minis are cheap and are Intel based now. iMacs are pretty cheap.

Interesting things are afoot, I'm pretty sure that Hell just froze over.
