It has been a battle, but I finally got my Macbook Pro configured as a dual boot machine. While it doesn't seem *right* to put Windows on an Apple, it has some advantages, not the least of which is being able to check cross browser compatibility for Drupal sites we develop at work. You need a LEGAL copy of Windows. Please don't steal software.

Since the announcement that Safari has been released for Windows, I have been thinking about and reading articles on eWeek and ZDNet which have good insight. Ed Bott supposes that Apple is looking to make a hostile takeover of Windows. I'm not sure that I agree with idea of the hostile takeover doesn't ring quite true. I think we're looking more at an attempt at a slow assimilation.

Leopard is scheduled to ship in October. There has been a lot of speculation that there will be an Apple supported option to have Vista ship as a second OS on Apple hardware--there are in fact third party sellers doing just this right now.
