Uninformed opinion: Boot Camp is lame

I haven't been within 50 feet of an Intel Mac since I saw them at Macworld. However, I can tell you without a doubt Boot Camp is great. Just from what I've seen, it automates a process that, for busy people or less-techie, is just a bit of a pain. However, it is a beta. It is NOT intended for mass consumption, in the broader sense. Still, with all those caveats, some people still don't get it. Remember that crazy joke of an article about the Mac Mini: The Emperor's New Computer? Someone told me that was a joke. If so, it's funny. If not, we have a worse problem with education in this country than I thought. And in the same vein as that piece of garbage comes this: Boot Camp crashes and burns. I'm nearly speechless at the ignorance and level of FUD in the article. Seriously, read it and just try to keep your head from exploding.

I mean, in the heat of blogging we've been known to make mistakes. Even reporters and book authors stretch the truth. But when you start talking about Boot Camp being an "emulator," you have clearly missed the boat entirely and wound up on the Shores of Stupid. Never mind the stereotyping of Mac users as not being computer literate or gamers. OK, I'll cop to the last point. But saying something as asinine as "getting a Mac to run PC games will result in heartache - this I can guarantee" is just asking for hurt. Really? C.K., I'd like to jump into that wormhole you went in to, because apparently only Bizzaro world will see Guild Wars operating properly on Mac hardware. Someone tell me this is a joke...
