Newb here.

Just wanted to get everyones thought on whether the Intel based desktop systems scheduled for next year will allow us to dual boot between OS X and Windows XP/Vista.

I'm happy with my Mac Mini right now, but by late next year I'm going to be in the market for a powerful desktop system that can play PC games.

Are the current Intel based develpment kits able to boot Windows XP? If so, is there a likelyhood that Apple will try to disable that functionality in the hardware?

I'd love to only have a Mac as my system of choice, and a system that would allow me to dual boot MacOS/Windows would be a dream come true.

Thanks

Thanks. Search feature is a wonderful thing.

Next time I'll make an effort to use it.:D
