Windows on a Mac is here

Windows on a Mac is here - Product Review - CNET Asia

Apparently some non-IT industry guys won the US$14000 competition to get Windows on Mac/Intel and now it looks like Apple are releasing the method into the wild!

Spot the entry that points to Photoshop running faster on Windows than on OS/X (on the same hardware)...

I don't think the writing is on the wall for OS/X fans, but at least they now have the option to switch OS's to suit the application they're running, without having to switch the hardware too...

I think this will be a boon (well, bust actually) for the Mac gaming industry, since there will no longer be a point to releasing Mac ports of popular games, since they could just run Windows anyway... It'll be interesting to see how the Mac community jumps on this one, since we've already seen what the Linux community feels...
