    X1600 Drivers working on XP Partition?

    You cannot use the video drivers from the ATI site. I understand the Omega drivers will work (and apparently give you a good FPS boost), but I have not tried this first hand. As always....your mileage (and damage) may vary.

    native Solaris 10 inst on New MacBook

    I've got Solaris 10, but haven't installed it yet. I'd be interested in how it goes for anyone that gets it installed and wants to report how it goes.

    Bootcamp Hijacks OSX

    What are you using as a computer....a G5, or an intel core duo? They are NOT the same machines, and bootcamp only works on the Intel machines.

    Spotlight and Find broken after iMac SMC Firewire Update 1.0

    Obviously, this isn't normal. Anything else acting outside the norm? A firmware update should not be messing with your data. Period.

    New firmware....

    I believe it is related to boot camp. I wish apple would list a change log, but the fact that they are not makes me tend to think that they don't want to reveal whatever is actually changed. I suspect this firmware adds the BIOS compatiblity layer to the firmware.

    "BootCamp is LAME" - Venkat Pullena

    I didn't view the article as satire. I saw it on the California Aggie website. This guy is a moron. The only thing correct in the article was that he spelled Mac and Boot Camp correctly. Google the authors name and it will come up.

    Right-click MacBooks — when?

    As a former windows user, adept in right clicking...... After a couple of days, the Cmd + click worked fine when I needed it. I admit, I am not a normal user though. We had Sparcs and whatnot at work, and I used Linux as my primary OS for years (dipping into windows to play games and use a...

    Apple BT keyboard in windows?

    I think I'll wait until the beta is done. I have a higher end XP machine anyways, so for what I do on it (play games) I can wait. This might help, but no promises: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=840635

    Apple BT keyboard in windows?

    Apple themselves say a USB keyboard is "required". I would suspect the BT drivers are not fully developed, hence the beta tag on the software. I've seen people saying it works, but words are cheap.

    Ah, so they've enabled the bios compatability option then.

    Don't Get Your Mac Jacked - iAlertU

    That's why you need our new product! Introducing MacBlinder. Our hardware and software requires you to enter a password before it even boots the OS. After 3 tries, it sprays a semi-lethal acid out of the microphone hole into the face of the would be (and soon to be disfigured) thief...

    BootCamp run Windows on Mac

    I think this is what the move to intel processors was all about. First, throw out the intel machines and raise hopes and possiblities of running windows. A few months later, release a bootloader enabling people to install windows if they wish. I think it's a win-win. Surely Apple has looked...

    Migrating to mac

    You don't have to get rid of your windows software. See the boot camp threads, or head over to Apples site and check it out. You can install and boot XP on a mac. Not too difficult thanks to Apple releasing software to make it possible. In a nutshell, you get a mac, with a kick *** OS, and...

    New firmware....

    Does it do anything other than allowing you to run bootcamp? I'm all for updates and fixes, but if I have no intention of installing XP on my mac is there any reason to update the firmware?

    BootCamp run Windows on Mac

    I don't have a USB mouse and keyboard, So....I guess I am out. (Apple wireless keyboard and mouse) :D I don't think developers are going to abandon OS X....if anything this prompts developers TO develop for OS X (and Linux). As someone else mentioned, why be a small fish in a big pond...

    Rosetta/ Reason 3 help! New to OS X!

    There is no patch. Propellorhead does list that Reason will run equivilant to a G3 on a intel mac. There is no option to "see" Rosetta. It just runs the software, there is no Rosetta installer or anything, if that's what you are looking for. You should be able to stick the disc in and...

    Please take away my fear...

    Well.....I recently converted myself, but was planning (and saving for) the move for months. Like you, I had alot of software that I had paid for and used on occasion. In the end, I wanted to get away from Windows. I'm still a gamer, but I retained my PC for stuff I like to do on the PC...

    Windows on an intel mac?

    Well, you could argue that running windows on anything is an abuse of hardware :P I certainly understand the appeal in doing so. If nothing else, for the games available. If you only have one computer, it would be nice to boot into either OS (and Linux too) for alot of people. However, I...

    Why is OSX so hopeless?

    Have you tried re-installing the OS? If so, and you are still having problems, call Apple and have them take a gander. If you are having this many problems, I suspect three things.... 1) You have a machine issue due to faulty install of the OS, or 2) You did something to muck it up, or...
