There was an article in the March Atomic about getting XP running on a Mac, and the writer said it probably won't be done. He also said there was a competition running to the first person to do it (Not an Atomic competition, some other competition) so I hope the person who did it won stuff.

I can't wait to get the Mac Mini now. Its gonna be everything that I want in a computer. How great is this day!

Eww, a Mini? Those will never be all that anyone could want in a computer. Their graphics card can't even handle HD. I'd rethink it if I were you, but if you're sure it's what you want then go for it!

If by "stuff" you mean $13,000, then yes, he is going to win stuff for doing this ;) Check out onmac.net

Calm down man, it's not like i insulted your mother or something, i just stated that the video was bad.

No need to get protective over it.

Calm down? Insulted my mother? Get "protective"? I'm doing none of those. I'm just tired of everyone whining about fakes. Yes, it's been stated, people think it's fake, we don't need every other post being another person saying it's fake. All I did was simply counter your argument that the "video was bad". You feel the video is bad, and told us why. I feel the video isn't bad, and told you why. I hope you can allow me to challenge the validity of your claims the same as you challenege the validity of the pics and video. After all, we're basically doing the same thing right? ;)

Contest has been won - updates to follow shortly. All further donations will go into an account to sustain the open source project that will be launched with the initial solution. There are still many bugs to be worked out!

So that's it folks. We're done. He has a working solution and after they iron out some of the framebuffer bugs with other systems (I assume that's what it is) then it'll be released :)

Of course you feel that way, you own a Macbook. Think of the people who DON'T have a Mac that's verified to work and how mad they'll be about it, not just yourself.

yes but it's still better for those who do have it (i would feel the same way if i had a 20"imac or mac mini), then at least some people can enjoy it

I'm waiting for exactly the same config that you have in your sig. I'll be getting it tomorrow shipped over from Head Office.

I wish it was here right now.

:cry:

Awesome, pretty slick way as well. Press up and down at the Apple logo on boot to choose between OS X and Windows apparently. Hopefully it's easy to use, next step is drivers, there's quite a lot of hardware that Windows doesn't pick up.

it's already been done and works fine but we're not allowed to talk about it here since it's not legal (Windows on a mac is legal though)

Actually I don't think it will be legal. Last I heard in one of narf's replies on flckr, they are patching the kernel to get it to work. If they are doing that then it's illegal.

Mini (core duo) can handle HD just fine And for core single it can handle 1280x720p which is good ewnough to fill up most peoples monitors. Not everyone has a dell 24" 1920x1080p is too big for my 2001fpw even.

Actually I'm nearly certain we determined somewhere that the graphics chip in the mini can't handle running HD content. I don't recall exactly where I've read this all. I also had a long discussion with a friend and we came up with various other reason why the Mini was just plain bad that I don't even remember now. Needless to say we came up with enough reasons that we realized that the new Mac Mini is really a horrible release by Apple because it's irresponsible when planning for the future of computing since it wont be able to handle most of it. I really don't remember what all we came up with now, so I'm not going to try to argue it without having the facts on hand. Besides, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Woo! I'm really looking forward to buying myself an Intel iMac now. My PC is hopeless when it comes to games - a 2GHz Core Duo with 256mb of VRAM will kiss arse!

...But does anything else think this screenshot looks a bit Photoshoped? The Windows logo looks odd to me.

I'm almost 100% certain that's just a custom made image he made to match Mac OS X' default grey boot screen. Wouldn't be surprised if you could replace it with anything you want.

Or do you mean something else?

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
