hey,

Everyone’s getting very excited about the new line of
apple models been released with Intel chips. Yesterday
saw the Mac mini have it transition and thus leaving the
book (the last of the bunch) to be converted.
However, is it really reasonable to think that one day we
will be able to launch a windows OS on these new Macs?
Everyone’s trying and with the latest success with the linx
kernel being booted on an imac when can we expect to
this to happen to windows.
I’ve been reading around the Internet and I have heard
several reasons why windows wont be able to be booted
on the new Intel Macs, but I just want some clarification
on the matter-seeing that I own one and would be
interested if this transition was possible.

Many thanks

J
