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.

According what I've read around the internet it will give an error when popping in anything but a Windows XP SP2 disc.

Don't try logging into a Windows Domain with your uber-1337 Mac Book Pro.

In order to enter secure domain login mode you have to press Ctrl + Alt + Del simultaneously. The Mac Book Pro doesn't have a delete key.

Long live the Apple Pro Keyboard huh? ;)

Uh, where did you hear that?

Windows (SP0, SP1, SP2) supports ATA controllers. I doesn't matter if they're IDE or SATA.

imressive...

after all we shouldnt forget thats first a notebook and second a freaking mac!

You must close all folder/ files and Windows before.

Really? I did a first aid verification and it said:

"Verifying volume “Hard Drive”

Checking HFS Plus volume.

Checking Extents Overflow file.

Checking Catalog file.

Illegal name

Checking multi-linked files.

Checking Catalog hierarchy.

Checking Extended Attributes file.

Checking volume bitmap.

Checking volume information.

The volume Hard Drive needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

1 HFS volume checked

Volume needs repair

The repair disk icon is greyed out...

Dead wrong.

First off, there IS a Delete key.

Second, there's a Control key.

Third, there's an Option key with "alt" written above it.

Worked perfectly for me. I logged into my domain just fine.

Hmmm, I'm not able to issue the three finger salute. Task Manager isn't coming up when I do it.

Also, neither is the brightness or the volume controls :s

But on the upside, this thing's fast as ######.

You obviously haven't used an Apple laptop ever:

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.

Completely untrue.

Having just booted a Linux cd I can confirm it works ;)

In fact once you've installed the firmware update, you simply have a pc with efi & bios support. I have my iMac with Windows XP as the only OS right now, I didnt even start the Boot Camp application...

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
