Boot Camping
Friday 7 April 2006 ◷ 22:45
How big a deal is Apple's Boot Camp anyway? The reason I own an iBook is because I wanted a small, cheap non-Windows laptop. I could've bought a non-Mac and go for a Linux-based solution, but I just don't have the time to fiddle with it to get Linux running comfortably on it, and in the 12" range the only competition seemed to be Vaios and other expensive gadgets that are aimed at senior managers that only read their mail on them.
So would I go for a multi-boot capable Intel Mac? If I would, I would do it for gaming. But I'm not a heavy-user, and the cost of buying a Windows license just to run Windows on a Mac isn't much fun. I'll probably rather take that money and go for a PSP, or buy an ultra cheap PC with Windows OEM to do a little gaming. The situation would be different for geeks who like to use Adobe stuff on a Mac, and combine that with gaming on an illegal Windows license on LAN parties. For them a Macbook would be ideal, once Adobe releases their products as UBs.
