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:

Top right, under the eject button: "Delete"

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...

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
