Nye Mac's sælges med Windows XP på
Amerikansk forhandler er begyndt at sælge Apples MacBook Pro med Windows
XP præinstalleret
Af Søren Bjørn-Hansen | tirsdag 25.04.2006 kl. 09:49
Efter at Apple for nylig udsendte patchen »Boot Camp«, der tillod
installation af Windows XP på de nye Intel-Macs, har den store
amerikanske Macsælger MacMall nu valgt at sælge MacBook Pro med Windows
installeret på. Det skriver DailyTech.com.
MacMall er et af nettets største online Apple forhandlere, og de er
begyndt at sælge Macs med enten Windows XP Home eller Pro som en
mulighed, som præinstalleret OS.
Ifølge både MacMall og Apples online sider, sælges identiske 1.83GHz
Core Duo MacBook Pro computere med Windows Xp Pro installeret for cirka
620 kroner - hvilket faktisk er billigere end at købe styresystemet
separat.
Ifølge DailyTech forudsiger flere analytikere at denne nye trend som
MacMall har startet, vil give Apple seriøse skyts at angribe sine nye
konkurrenter, som Dell og HP.
Kunder der tidligere ønskede at skifte til Mac på grund af hardwaren ,
behøver nu ikke være nervøse for at der er programmer der ikke er
kompatible med Mac OS X.
Faktisk behøver de ikke være nervøse for noget.

Next up: virtualization included and OS X and Windows XP running
side-by-side
After Apple's release of Boot Camp, allowing customers to install and
run Windows XP natively on its Intel-based Macs, many predicted that it
would simply be a matter of time before Macs started shipping with
Microsoft's Windows XP preinstalled. Now it seems the inevitable has
occurred.
One of the largest online Apple dealers, MacMall, has announced that it
is now shipping iMacs, MacBook Pros and Mac Minis with a choice of
Windows XP Home or Windows XP Pro pre-installed as an option. According
to both MacMall's website and Apple's online store, a identically
configured 1.83GHz Core Duo MacBook Pro can be pre-installed with
Windows XP Professional for $100 -- which is actually a discount.
It's quite interesting to see this occur because currently, Intel-Macs
are the only computers available that can run both OS X and Windows XP
natively. While it is possible to install OS X on home-built PCs, the
systems do not have proper drivers and support (save for some very
specifically configured hardware), and with current OS X versions,
operation is haphazard at best.
Analysts are predicting that a trend such as that being done by MacMall,
will give Apple a considerable foot-hold in competing with companies
such as Dell, HP and others. Those customers who previously wanted to
switch to a Mac but were held back by application support concerns now
have virtually nothing to worry about.
Interestingly, as soon as Parallels releases a final retail version of
its Workstation 2.1 virtualization application, we might begin seeing
Macs with virtualization pre-installed with Windows XP. This will allow
a level of OS X and Windows integration that was not possible before.
Apple's switch to Intel is clearly becoming more interesting everyday.
