why does everyone care?This is quite a big move because it's about people who like the idea of switching having an insurance policy. If I get a Mac, and when it comes to day-to-day use, I hate OSX, I can just put Windows on and use that instead.Also, someone might come along and request I do something as a .net application.
I'm not sure how many mac fans are that excited about it. The ones I know don't care less about this move.However, people I know who have been considering the idea of switching to Mac are now more definite about their next machine being a Mac. Whilst it adds a cost premium, it's giving them a lot more options.
Too all that are complining about this article... im sorry... it got 458 diggs and made it to the home page, so im assuming atleast some people like them... it was an article like any other article submitted... so if you dont like it, dont bother wasting another five minutes of your life typing up a comment about how it is not a good article. if it wasnt a good article, it would not have made it to the home page. If you're going "more boot camp news?!?!"... dont read the article...skip it! if u dont like it dont read it. dont send it to the home page.
I found the article informative (like the part where he details specific shortcomings, such as the system time issue), but then again I haven't read other Boot Camp articles, which may have already included those details.I do agree though: the whole "windows guy likes windows" concept in the title is pretty dumb. I suppose they just wanted to show his general opinion right in the title.. and failed miserably at creating an appealing one.
Reasonable article, but got his facts wrong on the lack of Bluetooth hkbd/mouse support. Have to cut him some slack because initially I also though this was the case; a wired kybd/mouse is required for installation, but afterwards you can use Apple's Bluetooth input devices -- my office is running it now on a solo MacIntel Mini in one of our conference rooms driving a 42" plasma display.
