Hi:

This doesn't really have much to do with IPM, but if anyone is interested,
Apple have just released a free program called "Boot Camp", which enables
Windows XP to be installed, and run natively, alongside the Mac OS on a new
Intel-based Mac computer. Reports highlight that XP running on a new
Intel-based Mac works flawlessly, and everything is supported - Bluetooth,
wi-fi - and, unfortunately, the myriad of viruses and malware t

This is significant, if only for the fact that people who were considering a
Mac notebook for school but were sidelined by IT administrators who only
support Windows-based machines and not Macs, can now possess a machine that
has both. You can boot into Windows for work, then enjoy OSX at home.

So if you're in the market for a new laptop, don't discount a Mac because of
incompatibility - you can now have a genuine dual-boot system, and keep
everyone happy!

Well I'm excited anyway!
