More like 3x slower. And no drivers for wireless, etc.
 
hm, well steve jobs said he didn't mind😛 i think he only cares if u try porting osx to windblows machines
 
You can't run MAC OS on X86 PC hardware. In theory yes, and sure you can if you want to hack it in..... But OS/10 is locked to Apple Hardware. ...For now.

windows vista may be able to install on mac mini.

windows xp currently won't.

the only problem afaik is that windows doesn't know how to boot of EFI, just BIOS.

i suspect someone is hard at work on a bootloader that will start windows off EFI, however.
 
hmm well what architecture is those intel duos and solos or w/e their called also arent they in notebooks with xp

Yes the cpu is used in other laptops but the motherboard is different

Right now everything on the X86 side boots to BIOS
On Macs it boots to EFI which is supposed to replace BIOS

 
oh ok thnx but im still wondering if i could do almost same thing but instead of wierd stuff just like dual boot like u usually do except have win xp and osx in list?
 
Now that Apple supports Windows and MS Windows Now supports Linux (red hat), I can imagine a MAC tripple booting: MAC OS > BootCamp Windows > MS Supported Linux.

I've had OSX 10.4.3 that will boot off of the DVD on most PC's for quite some time now. There are still a few glitches, but it's pretty sweet, and runs pretty fast, as well.
