Intel iMac running XP!

[Rudy]

looks like Narf2006 finally did it (unlike the fake vista screenshot (well with his technique you could install vista too))

Narf2006 had been working on an homemade CSM module for the Intel mac for the contest and he just updated his flickr with some promising screenshots :)

[kiall]

[fascist]

well at least he didnt just pop out of nowhere, he's been on the contest page before and has been talking to the guy running the contest about his progress (and he's the only one that was working on a CMS as far as i know)

A sad moment in time... :no:

he created a CSM (which is the bios compatibility layer, which is lacking in the intel macs)

It's a very Windows-on-Mac day. Cool, my Macbook Pro save-up is back on!

[BTallack]

I'm eager to see what comes of this. I may yet sell my Powerbook for a MacBook Pro.

thank you :)

A sad moment in time... :no:

why? it's better than running it in Virtual PC

[MrA]

Isn't there a CSM in the Tianocore SDK? Why doesn't he use that instead of making his own?

[Martyn]

A sad moment in time... :no:

A matter of opinion.

my guess is that it would be hard to make it compatible with the imac (but im not 100% sure)

[mad_onion]

A sad moment in time... :no:

so i dont understand... you dont want people to have choice of what os they use with their mac so are you a communist?

Don't You mean CSM not CMS?

CMS is a Content Management System

yes i do.... sorry about that :blush:

oh btw if his solution is working this would also mean most x86 OS should run on the new macs (ie: Win2k, Vista, Linux (without the EFI hacks))

[ThunderRiver]

A sad moment in time... :no:

You are missing the point. It is to prove the point that you CAN do it..not all the BS about EFI preventing Xp from landing in Mac.

Whether it is sad or not, that's your problem.

someone at work pointed out it might be fake..... look at this picture:

look at the bottom right corner of the screen.....

Light bends/bleeds...especially with that big of a contrast..(white/black)

A sad moment in time... :no:

Because the iMac uses a Conroe? So I could say, sad moment in time for PCs? :rolleyes:

[dougal.s]

A few of the others look slightly odd also.

It strikes me as strange that someone who has an iMac, and all this time to carry out low-level programming, doesn't own a digital camera that produces photographs of a decent quality!

Dougal.

[Rudy]

uhh, what am I ment to be looking for? :blush:

the bottom right of the screen of the imac looks stretched over where the white border should be

i would have circled it in paint but im at work and i odnt have access to paint :pinch:

i really hope it's real but i dont know what to think after that pic...

[madnuke]

Intresting, I dont belive this until I see a working method and some better quality pictures.
