So let me ask the question for us Non-techies..... I realize this is pretty hardcore.....but is it hardcore to the hardcore? or is it something that is easy to do but just takes alot of work?please, stay back! no don't hit the thumbs down! noooo!
Jesus is in all of us, black,white, yellow,brown.Suffice to say that Obi1(Jesus) of the rebel alliance triumphs over the dark side of the empire(Microsoft).
I think with what he's demonstrated, Jesus (along his buddy Narf) could both write their own mealticket with any number of technology companies this week. Congratulations to them both and all best wishes for a bright future in this business. If I were in a position to hire them, I'd have sent them an offer already.
craputer duuh. and computer that runs XP is a craputer on the software side (i own 2 apples, a //e and a color classic. I have at least 20 PCs. I'm not a fanboy.), but hes talking about dirt cheap hardware. and bury this.
It'd probably take about the same amount of time. I'm sure the prize money helped, but there was also a lot of prestige waiting for whoever did it first. As I understand there was also another group that was only a little ways off of achieving the same thing.

To the guy above me, Chongo, Yeah that is really hard. Intel Macs load on EFI, and XP does not load on EFI, it used BIOS and must be emulated.

I think that may be the most hilarious comment I have ever read on Digg - ever.

More hardcore than getting Linux to run on an iPod, and that's pretty hardcore.
