Vista to run on Macintels

Looks like things are getting even more weird in the Macintel world. Apparently you will be able to run Windows vista on Intel based Macs. Apple has said they have no plans to directly block this possibility. I’m not really seeing any wild consequences as PC people who want Windows are going to buy the piece of hardware that suits them and their budget best. Occasionally someone may decide to void their warranty and buy a Macintel just to put on Vista but I doubt it. The chances of a Mac user wiping out Tiger and replacing it with Windows? Never. I can however see Macintels running two operating systems for various reasons. Being able to run both natively could be advantageous. We’ll see.

I'm always up on the tech.

Vista will be prettier and easier with more integration. It will be nice but nothing surprising. WinFS which won't be out for another year is the best part. It is a new file system that allows for some very very interesting and useful searches and virtual file structures.
