Comments on: The Why of Apple’s Bootcamp http://tech.gaeatimes.com/index.php/archive/the-why-of-bootcamp/ News and views from a Software Architect and Web Entrepreneur on Java, PHP and Web 2.0 Technologies.

I trashed three laptops in the past three years, each of them paid quite 1600€, each of them a masterpiece of engineering mistakes. I work with three softwares paid a total of 2800€. So, what am I concerned to do? Should I buy another -e.g.- HP laptop which will die next year, bundled with Vista OS that DOES NOT SUPPORTS my 2800€ software, or should I try the "Apple Way", buying a RELIABLE machine on which I will be able to run my expensive software without being forced to put it in the trash? I’ll tell you why I like the “Why Apple’s Bootcamp”.

I think your wish might just come true in the next version of Mac OS X. “I think Apple should actually promote / develop thin windows emulator to natively run windows applications with Mac finesse.”

The next iteration of OS X due out this fall will include full virtualization, which means you will be able to run windows programs inside of Mac OS X.

Apple has produced a reason for PowerMac owners to upgrade to Macintels. Boot Camp won’t work on PowerPC chips. Apple has produced a reason for PowerMac owners to upgrade to Macintels.

But there were several emulators available for quite some time. AFAIK Apple never officially approved / blessed them. Apple could easily have adopted one of them and bundled with their machine as they are doing now. True. But there were several emulators available for quite some time.

Why did Apple, after all these years, finally decide to support Windows on their machines?

Because Apple finally added Intel-based processors to their Macs, which made the process of running Windows on Mac hardware far more simple than it would have been otherwise.
