A le validates and dismi es Windows on Mac at the same time

A le isseemingly telling us that it is OK to i tall Windows XP on our Macs with the release of Boot Camp. Does this mean that the years of A le mocking Windows havecome to an end and there will finally be peace on earth?

Not a chance.

You may not have noticedthe following blur on the right hand column of the Boot Camp site:

'Macs use an ultra-modern industrystandard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP,and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operatesmoothly in both centuries.'

And under the heading 'Word to the Wise':

'Windows ru ing on a Macis like Windows ru ing on a PC. That mea it%26rsquo;ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world.So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.'

Oh, A le, you clever minx. You openlymock Window while at the same time enable it to run on Macs. This is why I am such a big fan of A le.

Thanks to those who pointed this out.
