Apple today anounced BootCamp and I’m probably the very last person to get around to blogging about it. I’ve been trying to decide what the noise is about. I certainly wouldn’t waste the disk space on a Windows partition. I loathe everything about that OS/bundle of hacks and its maker’s steaming pile of crapplications. Certainly I’d never pay money for that mess.
Still, Apple makes the nicest hardware at competitive prices, so it seems likely that execs might start buying the MacBooks and getting their trogs – er support staff – to install XP on them. Of course, Mac OS X will be there by default and curiosity will probably get to the all eventually and they’ll give Mac OS X a spin – just to see. That’ll get em. Probably many of them will never go back. If their developers get ahold of one – that’s it, they’ll never write for Windows again. Its all just too painful.
Clever move. Maybe.
