Apple lets you run Windows XP on Macinteltosh

It is making available a download of Boot Camp, which lets people dual boot on Macinteltosh machines. The download will be built into the next version of Mac OS X, 10.5, said Apple.

Boot Camp, said Apple, creates a second partition on your hard drive for Windows. Apple describes it as preview software you can use on a trial basis for a limited period. Go here for the download.

Naturally you will have to have your own legit copy of Windows XP to install the Microsoft OS. The Boot Camp software will burn all the required drivers to a CD so everything will run OK.

Apple adds on the download page: "Don't forget to follow best practices for updating and protecting your Windows system." Windows on your Macinteltosh is "subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world". µ
