{mosimage}"Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.


Once you've completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That's the "alt" key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac."



I guess if you're not fortunate enough to have a PC as well as a Mac, your prayers have been answered. Personally, I'd rather a faster emulation application, like Virtual PC. However, I've heard Microsoft are lagging (surprise, surprise) in that dept and we won't (if at all) see a new Virtual PC for the Mac until mid-2007.

{mosimage}All I can say is ... Ahhh Yeah. Say hello to my new friend, the Mac mini Core Duo hooked up to my Sony Grand WEGA (LCD Rear Projection) TV.


I am absolutely loving the mini. It's awesome. Words just can't express how cool this device is. It makes Windows Media Centre (now a defunkt product) look like the biggest joke on the planet.

{mosimage}"The new version of Microsoft Windows, called Vista, has slipped again. It was originally going to ship in 2003. Then 2005. Then 2006. Now in early 2007. I'm not surprised, having seen a demo of Microsoft's new programs at an 'event' for tech buyers in New York last week," Daniel Lyons writes for Forbes.


"The new programs are phenomenally complex, with scores of buttons and pull-down menus and myriad connections among various applications.



Meanwhile, 500 tech buyers sat there in the dark, their eyes glazing over from the sheer mind-numbing pointlessness of most of this stuff. The audience laughed out loud when the Microsoft guy showed off a kludgey system that lets you fetch Outlook e-mail messages using voice commands from a cell phone."


Man ... Microsoft have truly lost it.
