After various third-party claims of installing and running Windows XP on the new Apple Intel-based systems Apple come out with an official dual-boot solution. It’s not particularly graceful – Windows will need a separate disk partition and it won’t run Windows simultaneously with OS X (a la Virtual PC or similar) – but it’s officially supported and will tick the appropriate boxes for corporate buyers. And it will open the door to access to more PC games hopefully.
