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:

    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
    • Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
