Boot Camp license set to expire

Uh-Oh. This could be interesting. They suck you in with a free tool, and then just when you need it, you may have to buy it? I hope Apple keeps Bootcamp free. It really increases the value of an Intel Apple. It almost justifies Apple's price premium over PCs. Being able to run multiple OSes natively is really cool. Using emulators like Parallels is nice, but you're gonna get performance hits. Running native you can get full power out of the system.

I've got my Macbook Pro with Vista on it. With the new fan drivers that Apple released last month, Vista actually seems to run faster than OSX 10.4.9. Go figure. Oh, and the Apple Remote will also work under Vista. It won't launch Front Row, but it did control WinDVD 8.

The combination of Boot Camp and MacDrive (by Mediafour) allow PC centric users to take full advantage of an Intel Mac.
