Everybody’s talking about Apple’s public beta of “Boot Camp“, technology that allows you install and run Windows XP on your Intel-based Mac, and will be included in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard.

Working in a similar way to Partition Magic’s BootMagicâ„¢, by holding down the option key at start up, you will be able to select which partition to boot from. Boot Camp will even burn a CD for you with all the drivers necessary to run Windows on your Mac’s specific hardware configuration.

Now Mac enthusiasts get the opertunity to experience all the same viruses, trojans, worms, spyware and system failures that PC users so enjoy!

The blogosphere is buzzing today with rumors that Microsoft are going to announce a March 9th launch date for their mysterious new handheld device codenamed “Origami”, a tablet-like system capable of doing everything from playing music and multimedia content, to accessing the web, and playing exclusive videogames like Halo. It is unclear as yet whether this product will be marketed as a handheld gaming device or a mobile/PDA device like Blackberry.

 A lengthy video of the product is available on Google Video.
