1.) driveimage your current XP install to a bigger drive.
2.) slap that new drive into your PC.

Instant BSOD.

Or even simpler.

Slap in an ATI 9200SE videocard along w/ another non ATI card.

Instant BSOD.

You mean the intel and ati video drivers aren't actually video drivers?

And the ati gpu isn't video hardware?

Wow, all this time, I thought they were. :P

Please try talking about something you have a clue about. Like your belly button lint or something.

If you're a Windows user you can buy a Mac without having to give up anything. The hardware is pricier but you get an extra OS (Mac) that doesn't wait for Vista. An extra OS that can potentially be everything that you need and rely less or not at all on Windows at some point. Hardware with better design. Software that is stable and a protected "walled garden" where everything integrates and works together nicely.

Apple doesn't have to convert the world either for this to be a monumental success. At only 5% of the market share if Apple gets a very small percentage of Windows users to try a Mac box they won't go back and 2x market share to 10% would send Apple stock through the damn roof.

Remember when people were complaining that they wished that they'd gotten in on Microsoft stock when it was affordable and then repeating those words every year for the next ten years? Remember those buddies of yours that complained "I wish I hadn't sold my Microsoft sotck cause I'd be a millionaire by now"?

Looks like history repeating itself to me.

BTW, AAPL is up about 10 % today. ]]>Apr 5th 2006 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/I still don't see why people would just at less hardware for more price. Apples have a great interface, why sacrifice your interface for windows?

The reason to get a Windows PC is because it will run better and faster provided you know how to optimize your system.]]>Apr 5th 2006 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/

The big virus that changed the culture of mac computing is very near. It will only take one that will screw everyone over because they thing that OSX is a "Walled Garden".

Just remember that Windows is the safest and most secure platform...the problem is that even though that is the case...there are thousands upon thousands of hackers that are barraging the platform constantly looking for flaws and ways to get in. They do this because 94% of the worlds computers use Windows. Now if the eyes of these hackers turn to Mac and it's increasing market share...you Apple fanboys will be eating your words. I've found that Macs are just as damn unstable as Windows...just imagine a Mac with Virus problems and spyware on top of all of those problems. You will have one damn fine looking POS. ]]>Apr 5th 2006 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/Apr 5th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/Apr 5th 2006 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/Apr 5th 2006 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/
"GOOD JOB APPLE" ?

What exactly did Apple do? The Intel Macs are standard PC components. And now Windows runs on these standard PC components.

The way that BSOD occured was after Windows XP is first installed but prior to installing Mac drivers there is a "Camera" icon under "My Computer" that is basically the Windows OS seeing the built in iSight. If you click on "Camera" it goes to BSOD, but if you first install drivers the "Camera" icon disappears and isn't an issue.

Once you finish the Boot Camp instructions without first mucking around the Windows XP install is as stable as I have ever seen... it is simply fantastic.]]>Apr 5th 2006 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/05/mossberg-goes-to-boot-camp-and-survives-unscathed/I have a some questions to anyone who has tried boot camp:
