Apple released a public beta of Boot Camp.  It is rumored to be a new feature of Mac OS 10.5 that will enable Intel-based macs to install and boot into Windows XP.  I am actually excited for this.  Not because I like windows but for the reason that there are programs on windows that you can’t get for a mac.  This is the case for my wife.  We had to get her a windows laptop because she is a structural engineer and all of the software she uses for work is only windows based.  When she is done she comes home and tries to do things  on her PC that the mac does much better and easier.  She is always getting frustrated with it and wishing her work programs would work on a mac so she could use things like the iLife sweet .  With boot camp she can.  I would love to see the day when she boots windows at work on a Mac Book Pro then gets home and boots Mac OS X to do the things she likes to without windows getting in the way.  I am sure she would love to get ride of that huge PC laptop and get a more powerful one that is only a inch thick.  For more info go check out Apple Boot Camp web page.
