'All Mac' solution for installing Windows XP on Intel Macs now available
March 21, 2006 | by Staff
Leaving the desirability of the exercise to the more philosophical among us (although it sure would come in handy for some corporate applications we've encountered), OnMac.net has posted a new procedure for installing Windows XP on Intel-based Macs. While other "solutions" required use of an actual PC, this procedure can be done entirely on the Mac.
Step-by-step instructions are available at the OnMac.net website, but be forewarned. This procedure is for serious geeks only at this point, and could pose dangers to your shiny new Intel Mac. Some have reported overheating issues, claiming there are no Windows drivers for the Mac's fans. Others are having issues with video drivers and crashing, but most expect these issues to be resolved now that the solution has been "let into the wild." Apple has stated that they will not do anything to prevent users from installing Windows on their Macs, so it seems unlikely they would "break" any solutions with software updates.
