Well I got ready to go, and came across an error that said "Your startup disk cannot be partitioned because verification failed"

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I tried going into the Disk Utility on the OSX Install disk, but it seemed like it wanted to totally erase everything to partition my disk. Which I dont wanna do :laugh:

Help is appreciated!

Microsoft is a software company so this is great news for them!!! This is just the beginning of the matriculation of Apple into a complete Consumer Electronics company. Within the decade they will either be like Dell, making desktop computers/ipods/servers/laptops, all in their shiny hardware in 'minimilist' packaging all sporting the Windows OS, or a music distribution company. The writing is on the wall for those with common sense and that don't pray to Steve Jobs before drinking a glass of Steve's Kool-Aid before bed time. Dvorak was right.

Well with full drivers for Windows XP = Gaming.

The main concern from most enthusiast users on internet forums is that they cant switch because of there games! They love games (hell I love games) and this is what stops them from switching.

Ahh of course :) ... thank god Bizzard are an awsome dev house and make for mac and windows :D

Would be cool if leapord could do a dashboard(ish) effect or even Fast User switching to change to XP - would make my life as a web developer a hell of alot easier too :)

My Jaw hit the floor when I saw this on the main page... :| :woot: :blink: :rofl: :laugh: :D all emotions went crazy......such a beautiful [ :cry: ] site! MAYBE NOW I CAN GET A MAC! MY dad was always like " yes! they are gorgeous and fun to use, bt for you...no productivity would come from it ".

Now I can tell him:

1. Universal Binarys [not really mainstream, but will be].

2. Intel Chips

3. USE XP!!! SO ALL MY PROGRAMS WILL RUN!!!!

Dont leave comments about your dad doesnt have to do anything, I'm just happy and excited even though the answer will still be no. :wacko:

Anywyas...DID YOU GUYS SEE HOW TO PARTITION THE DRIVES!!!! :woot: JUST DRAG THE CURSOR OVER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT depending on which OS u want to have how much space. I was hoping one day for a simple way to get XP on MACS, with a graphical interface install...now Apple is making their own! OMG! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Gotta love what Apple wrote on their Boot Camp site:

EFI and BIOS

Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: GOTTA LOVE APPLE!

Games runs pretty good.

Here any Screenshots. but in German.

all i can say:

amazing...

for the people who cant understand german:

infact the tested game (flatout) runs excellent, even with all details up and the native display resolution of the mac book pro.

The only downside to all this is that it's Windows XP SP2 bonded. You can't install any other Windows system, so that's something they might want to work on. Especially with Windows Vista's release somewhere this century.

How is it SP2 bonded? I would think the only reason Apple is requiring SP2 is because all Intel Macs use SATA, which was not supported until SP2.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
