Is this company stock available?
This isn’t anything that won’t be native to Leopard in the Fall. Apple will certainly be upgrading the Boot Camp experience to match or exceed this. Mark my words.

Mark this MDN post. In a couple of years, we can revisit it as what was happening in a watershed moment in the history of OS’s AND the point in time when the Mac OS started its phase out – all according to Steve’s terms of surrender. Nuts.
I’ll mark the “truth hurts” posting as a memorial to the “sky is falling” mentality that afflicts the Luddites of the world.
Seeing as how this makes the Mac the ONLY computer on the planet that will run Windows, OS X and Linux all on one system, this is hardly a hint of surrender. Quite the contrary.
When we look back in a couple of years, it’ll be to see whether or not the Mac’s marketshare has either doubled or tripled over that time frame…
Impressive….running Solaris/OS2 Warp/Windblows/ SUSE Linux with OSX as the primary OS. Really Amazing….now my Windblows buddies jaws will drop to the ground.
