Sir, We're Going to Bootcamp
0 Ish Good!
A bit off topic but I thought it had interesting implications... So Apple came out with their boot camp software this morning. So I downloaded it and decided to give it a try on an Intel iMac I had at work. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask! But I guess a picture says a 1000 words:
