*OFFICIAL* Apple will not lock you out of Dual-booting *CONFIRMED*

[UlricT]

From the New York Times

Mr. Jobs said he fully expected some users to run Windows on the new Macs eventually, which could make Apple's computers an attractive alternative to PC's that run only Windows. "I'm not going to do anything to preclude that," he said.

Yeah!!!

yes that would be awsome OSX is nativily a 64 bit os, it would be awsome if optimized for the A64s

That looks very unlikely... no one has been able to run it yet. The drivers in OSX will only be geared towards Intel chipsets, so we are SOL there....

In that case, I can see a MacBook Pro in my future.

dude its just a unix operating system, people have done wounders on linux and I imagin most of that work, and the work done with darwin will corrispond to OSX the only real issue is the chipset drivers and nvidia drivers, from my understanding pretty much everything else works great
