Tonight Apple released Boot Camp, software that finally let people install Windows Xp on a Mac. This is not emulation or anything, this is running the OS on a seperate partition. I successfully installed Windows XP on my iMac tonight, although when I installed the Mac drivers (for the Mac Hardware) it failed after installing the ATI drivers, so when I'm in Windows I can't access the internet, which kind of makes it less useful. I can still play the games I have that are PC only (Max Payne 2 I'm looking at you) and I can still transfer files back and forth between XP and OS X (for working on things, and giving software etc), so it will have it's uses.

Right now I'm burning a new copy of Windows XP with SP2, and I'm going to attempt a reinstallation and see if it goes any better. If not, I'll just live with what I have and use XP for Max Payne 2, and if it works, then that's awesome.

Other than that, today has been completely uneventful.

Update!

I managed to get the sound drivers and network drivers installed, which let me download all the windows updates, so things are working fine now. I can't install SP2 (it fails everytime, claiming I don't have any freespace) but I don't really need it.. not for what I'm doing with it. So.. with sound and internet, I can pretty much do anything I want now! SCORE!
