Boot XP on Mac right now
When they said
"shortly" I didn't realize just how shortly. narf2006's $13,000 solution for booting Windows XP on your
Intel Mac is available right now, in the form of a 777kb zip file. In order to
accomplish the feat you'll need a PC on which you'll create a custom slipstreamed XP install disc. In case it's not
obvious, this is not for the faint of heart, but the distribution contains clear instructions in sensible English,
which is promising. As you might expect, the XP-on-Mac site is under significant load just now, so if you have
difficulties, head over to Engadget for a list of mirrors.
