Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Genuine dual-boot systems

Hi:

This doesn't really have much to do with IPM, but if anyone is interested, Apple have just released a free program called "Boot
Camp", which enables Windows XP to be installed, and run natively, alongside the Mac OS on a new Intel-based Mac computer. Reports
highlight that XP running on a new Intel-based Mac works flawlessly, and everything is supported - Bluetooth, wi-fi - and,
unfortunately, the myriad of viruses and malware t

This is significant, if only for the fact that people who were considering a Mac notebook for school but were sidelined by IT
administrators who only support Windows-based machines and not Macs, can now possess a machine that has both. You can boot into
Windows for work, then enjoy OSX at home.

So if you're in the market for a new laptop, don't discount a Mac because of incompatibility - you can now have a genuine dual-boot
system, and keep everyone happy!

Well I'm excited anyway!
