Intel iMac running XP Setup

Looks like Narf2006 finally did it.

Narf2006 had been working on an homemade CSM module for the Intel Mac for a contest and he just updated his flickr with some promising screenshots.

No disrespect intended but why would anyone want to use a defective O/S like XP with all of it's problems?

Well if he gets that thing to boot into window then we will see if macs are really as fast as they say. Or it will just prove xp is really slow.

What makes you think that? I hesitate to believe because of the small pictures. I can't really see what the display says, but it could be possible.

SWEET! This proves that mac is officially nothing more then a PC in "aesthetic" casing. Now that everything is X86...I wonder when we'll be able to swap parts out in macs like PC's. Friends, we are witnessing the beginning of the demise of macintosh :toast:

Thanks for stating the obvious... :rolleyes: This is far from the demise of the mac. In fact, its quite possibly the demise of the massive marketshare microshaft has. You can already freely swap ram, HDD with even the old old old imacs... but sshhh.. most people dont know that ;)

You already can. I did. Its a pain in the butt, but it can be done. It will never be released like XP is, so dont hold your breath. Any possible way to do it requires braking the licenseagreement, effectivly breaking many laws (one of which includes the DMCA and reverse engineering laws).

But its quite nice :)

well, I suppose Mac vs. XP is a personal preference lol. Once you know the OS you like, NOBODY can change your opinion lol. So yeah, I'm an XP fanboy :p
