Finally, No more comments from PC lovers stating “but it can’t run Windows” every time an Apple user walks into the room.

Following the success of Onmac.net contest which paid over $15,000 to the first person who could get Windows XP running on an Intel Macintosh, Apple has announced the release of ‘Boot Camp’ which will allow you to natively run Windows XP on any Intel Macintosh machine.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today.

Once you’ve completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That’s the “alt” key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac

It really does punch a huge whole in every PC lovers argument “But it can’t run Windows”… If anything us Mac users can now use the argument “but it can’t run OS / X”…
