XP & OSX together

I'm not a techie, but this sounded just amazing.



Hackers have managed to get Microsoft's Windows XP operating system running on an Apple Mac computer. The success ends a competition started to see if the feat was even possible when Apple unveiled computers that used Intel chips.

The pair who managed the feat won $13,854 (£7,895) in prize money for their trouble. The software used to put Windows on the Mac is now being circulated so others can try to replicate the success.....

..... The rules of the competition stressed that to win hackers must get both Windows XP and Apple's OSX running on the same machine and neither operating system must cconflict with the other. As late as 7 March, Apple technical experts were saying that the prize money was unlikely to be collected.

Wow.
Both OSs running on the same machine? I don't know about you, but I would have thought it was practically impossible. There's some people with Serious Skill out there.


I'm impressed!
