If you've used XOM you need to boot from the OS X DVD and repartition your HDD to a single free space section.

Then reinstall OS X, and run the updater. Something to do with what the XOM does to the partition table as I understand.

Yes.

And the sound uses the internal speakers, switch to the intel drivers from the xom wiki if you want to use external speakers.

thanx, backing up my stuff right now :D

What would be even more interesting to know is if Apple intend to maintain this product, to have it support Windows Vista in the future, now that Vista won't support EFI on release either. Because when DirectX 10 only games start arriving (and many will want to use this solution to play Windows games, with the Mac for the desktop OS and "business" apps), then you'll need Vista anyway thanks to Microsoft's infinite wisdom.

Anyway, it goes without saying it's great news for any Mac users interested in running basically any and all current software for Windows XP at native speed. It also opens for interesting benchmarks such as how Photoshop will perform on XP vs on the Intel Mac version on identical hardware and all emulation bits out of the picture.

If this is going to be possible with Vista too in possibly a soon upcoming version, with proper drivers, then my next system could very well be a Mac. :) Right now I'm a bit doubtful though, because I don't want to purchase that whole thing now and be busted for the very first DX10 game arriving. Sure, it'll take a while and they'll likely first be compatible with DX9, but even if it takes 2 years or so, 2 years from now would be quite a short lifetime for a system. :(

If it's true and this thing isn't Windows XP SP2 bonded people should try to install the latest Windows Vista beta on it and see if it works. If it doesn't I'm sure Apple will update their product in time for Windows Vista's launch, and by the looks of it they have all the time in the world for that. :laugh:

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
