I'm a MAC... and I'm a PC

I love hating on Mac's and Mac users. However what few people seem to be talking about on the PC vs Mac front is that new Macs with intel core duo cpu's and Nvidia or ATI graphics ARE PC's ! Yes Macs ARE PC's.

Look, here is half-life2 running on windows XP booted on an iMac with ATI X1600 graphics:

And here is Windows XP running inside Apple OSX using the new 'parallels' emulator (Parallels on intel Macs runs windows much faster than emulators on G3,G4 and G5 Macs):

These aren't hacks. The 'bootcamp' software that boots windows on macs will be built into the next version of OSX. At the moment you have to download it from Apple here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

The Parallels emulator can be download here for £40:
