Default News: Apple's Boot Camp Beta

Quote:
Boot Camp Beta lets you install Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2, or later, on an Intel-based Macintosh computer, in addition to an existing Mac OS X installation. After running Boot Camp Beta and installing Windows XP, you can switch between Windows XP and Mac OS X by holding Option (Alt) key when you start up. You can also use the Startup Disk control panel in Windows (installed from the Macintosh Driver CD) or Mac OS X Startup Disk preferences to set the default operating system to use each time the computer starts up.

The Boot Camp Assistant Beta creates a partition just for Windows XP without erasing your existing Mac OS X information. Boot Camp Assistant Beta also burns a CD with drivers for Windows XP so you can use your Mac's built-in graphics, USB, audio, Bluetooth, Ethernet, AirPort, and more. The drivers are automatically installed when you insert the disc into your Macintosh after you install Windows XP.

Key features include ability to install Windows XP on the latest Intel-based Macintosh computers on any internal disk.

This news article makes me wonder, would Mac users really want to install and run Windows XP on their systems?
