Pigs seen flying over frozen hell
Apple mooted all the hard work it took to get Windows XP to install and boot on the Intel Macs by releasing Boot Camp, a utility designed to aid installation of XP on a supported Intel Mac. Boot Camp includes Apple-provided XP drivers for the Mac hardware. A firmware update is required prior to running Boot Camp, which Apple considers beta and claims will be featured in some form in Mac OS X 10.5.
Boot Camp is all well and good, but no one really likes dual booting. Virtualization is the way to go, allowing a host operating system to run several different client systems simultaneously. To that end, Parallels has released a beta of its virtualization software for Intel Macs. The Parallels software allows Mac OS X to run various versions of Windows, Linux and BSD at near-native speeds in virtual machines, all without rebooting.
