IT could be drafted into Boot Camp

This is an interesting article about adopting Macs in the workplace. We've got half a dozen Macs at CLC, and I support them when I can but I sub out level two support to a Mac consultant who's gone to CLC for years.

PC on a Mac has been around for years in the form of Virtual PC. Of course anyone who's tried to use it everyday at work knows you'd rather have a separate PC. But Boot Camp will allow you to run both Mac & Windows natively on the Intel Mac. However, rebooting every time you want to switch your OS isn't the most practical thing.

I've got to hand it to Apple, though. There are countless PC users who have thought about switching to a Mac, but they were tied to their PC-only apps. Now, with a free download from Apple, they have removed the biggest barrier those PC users faced. Personally I'd love to upgrade my home dual G5 to an Intel Mac.

I wonder how many requests from CLC staff I'm going to get now for the Intel Macs.
