Windows Bites (the Dust)

Naturally, immediately upon Apple releasing their beta of Boot Camp, my coworkers and I had to install it and Microsoft’s Windows on our shiny new Intel iMacs. I certainly have to give Apple credit where it is due: they have taken what is to a Mac user an inherently distateful idea, and made it pretty damn slick.

Partitioning and installation of Windows XP was as painless as it could possibly be made. Several coworkers remarked it was the fastest, smoothest install of the OS they’d ever seen. I tooled around in it a bit, getting this and that up and running, then left for the day. This morning I rebooted into XP to check it out again, and within five minutes had a Blue Screen of Death. Needless to say, I rebooted into OS X and simply deleted it.

Next!
