Inquirer has to backtrack on Mac/Windows XP claim

17 Mar 2006

The poor old Inquirer, which put together quite a persuasive and technically stunning article on why MacIntels will never run Windows XP, has had to backpedal a bit now that someone has managed to prove them wrong.

I'd actually been semi-persuaded by the article, since I'm no big BIOS/EFI expert. Should have known that just like in Jurassic Park, like life hackers will find a way.

There's still a little way to go before XP will get things like hardware acceleration of graphics on the Mactel, but it shouldn't be too far off now. I have faith in them. They're a clever bunch, hackers.
