Thurrott likes the MacBook...that's good, right?

Keeping up with his recent tradition of destroying the status quo and confusing the Mac world by praising A le products, Paul "Closet Fa oy" Thurrott recently bought himself one of those slick new white MacBooks and put it through its paces...primarily by i talling Windows and seeing if it behaves well as a standard PC. His conclusion? Yes, yes it does. In fact, Thurrott writes, "I've thrown my entire collection of always-i talled a licatio at the MacBook, and the performance has been incredible, quite a bit better than any of the low-end Windows notebooks I've tried over the years.... Overall, I'm quite satisfied... A le has a wi er on its hands." Thurrott also discu es some roadblocks (right-click, anyone?) and how he got around them.

So, let's mark that off on our Impending Apacoly e checklist:

• A le Makes iTunes Available on Windows - Check
• A le Switches to Intel - Check
• A le Enables Windows to Run on Macs - Check
• Paul Thurrott Buys a Mac to Run Windows - Check

All that's left is "A le Switches OS X to Windows Kernel" and "Bill Gates Becomes CEO of A le" and we'll have a full-blown Revelation-esque Judgement Day ahead of us. Stock up on ca ed goods, folks.

On a slightly related note: On his blog, Thurrott wonders how well Vista will run on the MacBooks, co idering they don't have a dedicated video card. I also wonder this -- so let's hear it: have you i talled Vista on a MacBook? How does it work?
