looprumors.com — Boot Camp users need to decide which operating system they want to run, and the Mac becomes dedicated to that platform. If true, under Leopard, users can dual boot and fast user switch to Windows and back again to OS X.

I'd much rather see Windows applications running seemlessly inside the Mac GUI. I'm envisioning what OS/2 used to do. I'd like to switch from Mac apps to Windows apps with Alt-tab.

This is silly.This post should be classified under the *old* rumor that Apple will include Windows virtualization like Parallels. This is what is needed for Apple to be able to do fast user switching to Windows.Fast user switching in OS X to another user in OS X is "fast" because it's just "user switching" it's not rebooting. "Boot" Camp *is* re-"booting" the Mac into Windows.Now Apple may buy or compete with Parallels, but it sure seems like this would've been an obvious thing to do from day one."Hey, Apple could do this" != credible rumor.

Giving x86 features to x86 processors isn't dropping support for PPC...The PPC version of Leopard won't have any features having to do with Windows.. Simple as that.

Parallels + Any DirectX = I'm still rebooting into windows

How about Bootcamp support for linux?Would it honestly cost apple /that mutch/ to develop a small section of code for the kernel tree, grub, or lilo that would allow Intel Macs to boot linux?

Klawz-I'm not talking about subject matter here, even though the subject is of Leopard. The principle I was trying to convey was the point of calling someone wrong about something on which they can't even be called wrong yet.I'm talking about objectively classifying ANY prediciton on ANY subject (that hasn't been released) as wrong or inaccurate.What stories I am interested in have nothing to do with objectively deciding whether it is the truth or not. So I do not see how what I have dugg has anything to do with your comment. I certainly have not 'spewed off' anything.Why can't Digg be a friendly-forum?-=|Mgkwho
