Ironically, Boot Camp doesn't run on Intel based Macs. Apple says making

people will probably virtualize the Mac.

Umm, what? Boot Camp is *only* for Intel Macs. It's certainly not for PPC
Macs.

Here's a quote from the Apple web site:

"In the next major release of Mac OS X Leopard, Apple will include a new
technology called Boot Camp that lets you install and run Windows on your
Mac. If you have an Intel-based Mac computer and would like to try Boot
Camp, you can download the public beta today."

Whoops, I got em backwards. Virtual PC is for PPC Macs; Boot Camp is for Intel Macs, as
you say.
