Run Windows on the new Macs

Looks like I may have an answer to Scott's question from yesterday. I'll test this out next week when I walk into an Apple Store and grab my new iMac, but according to a comment yesterday by Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, reported in this MSNBC article, the new Intel-based MacBook Pro and iMac will both be capable of running Microsoft Windows. According to the article, Schiller noted that Apple "won't sell or support Windows itself, but also hasn't done anything to preclude people from loading Windows onto the machines themselves" and they quote him as saying: "That's fine with us. We don't mind. . . . If there are people who love our hardware but are forced to put up with a Windows world, then that's OK."

Nice. Now we just need a program that will let us access our Windows' partitions via OS X.

Thanks, andras!
