some mac freaks asks "why would one run windows on a mac?" and i can agree it sounds crazy. I guess its because people has some favourite applications that they are affraid they are going to miss. But guys, the more that starts using macs, the more apps and games will be developed for os x. just make the switch :-)

If Apple patches it then it means they are actively preventing people from running Windows. They previously said they wouldn't do that.

Wouldn't that be going back on their word?

Gee, because we know how no company ever goes back on there word :rolleyes:

Besides, how much you want to bet if you send you dual booting iMac or MacBookPro to the Apple Store for repairs they will definitely not approve? :whistle:

It switches to a grey Windows logo already when you select it.

Really? Could you post a pic? :D

P.S.

So this guy modified his then or something?

lol, i don't like the feel of osx as much as win- the reason to have win on mac is to have access to the apps that are apple exclusive- not the other way around (for me, anyways)

Probably wouldnt care about it much if even you buy a mac to just dual boot it or even if you were to erase osx and put windows on it.

They will properly be happy that they sold you a mac.

With the translation layer, I'm interested in seeing if there's any decrease in performance.

Any way someone with it installed already can do some comparisons between XP on a PC and XP on a Mac?

the transition layer is only during boot... BIOS only affect the boot procedures on devices not their actual performance.

sounds great, but apparently there are driver issues (specifically the graphics driver . aka no games for the moment on xp)
Looks like you can install drivers for almost everything, except for the GFX card...there should be some good x1600 mobile version drivers out there somewhere.

Like I said a page or two back, Catalysts suport regular x1600s, so see if you can force the driver to install (run the install package so it extracts everything to c:\ati then go into the device manager and update the driver, telling it you want to specify where to find the driver, and point it to the drivers on your HDD, then select the right chip yourself, x1600 or whatever) and see what happens. I don't know how it will react, so only do this if you will be willing to re-install at worst (should be able to remove it in safe mode though, assuming you can figure out when exactly to hit F8 to get into safe mode haha). Anyway, that MAY work, I don't know if it's been tried yet. If it does, then I can patch the ATI catalyst installer for all the mac people to use.

I have to do similar to install the latest catalysts onto my laptop. Running the installer wont detect my chip, so I have to install them manually.

Okay, scratch all that, apparently it wont be THAT easy. I'm working on figuring this out with some people who have a machine setup now. I'll post as soon as I find out anything.

    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
