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.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
