Now that we can download a bootcampdisk at http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/ I was wondering what the implications are now? Perhaps Steve is suggesting that Apples can run Windows even better than the souped up PCs. That's scary.

Still the more operating systems that can run on Apples it will be incredible. Linux, Windows (brrrrr), and of course OS X! Wow.

Anything else impressive or opinions about the boot camp training?

Pretty amazing in my opinion. Now its even more true than before; if you want a computer that can do it all, buy a Mac. :)
 
WOW, I have to get my work to buy a Mini now.

EFI and BIOS
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

Word to the Wise
Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.
Arrogant as ever too.
