WinXP on Intel Mac: success or hoax?
The
challenge to get Windows XP to run on an Intel Mac may be drawing to a successful close—or that success might be
a hoax. Ars Technica is reporting that a user on the WinXP on Mac forums called narf2006 has claimed success and posted a set of blurry photos on Flickr that seem to show Windows XP
running on an Intel iMac. Many people, of course, are crying "Photoshop!" but word is narf2006 is
well-respected on the forums, and according to Ars, the blog for the $12,000 challenge (which, along with the forums,
is currently down) reported partial success with his technique and he's currently seeking more testers.
