Hello All,
Here is an interesting link on the new development of XP being installed on Apple macs that use Intel chipsets.

"Ultimately, Apple isn't about supporting Windows—it's about trying to steal customers from Windows. The company known for iPod now knows what it's like to imbibe the sweet wine of high market share, and would love a taste of that for its flagship operating system (Macs currently comprise about 4 percent of the PC market). "The thing we market is our innovation and their lack of innovation," says Schiller of that other realm. "At the end of the day there's a place for PC makers who are innovative. And there's a place for people who make boring boxes for the corporate world."

BootCamp supports Mac OS X and Windows XP only. Here is a HOWTO to install and boot Linux (thru Win XP).

I am sure further progress has been made in installing Linux directly (this story is about 6 weeks old): http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6828092624.html

feast your eyes upon this: http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/06/04/21/1636205.shtml
If this becomes true one day then it will be excessively difficult for Linux to come to the desktops lest Linux gets good driver support from all the major ( and hopefully the minor vendors ).
