Apple OS X running Windows native applications?!

Post by Mike »

Wired are reporting that people have found OS X searching for windows DLL when trying to open Windows Binary. The rumour is that OS X are looking to run the windows application without bootcamp! Now that would be impressive and so very very useful.
:D

I see Apple are trying to lure me in. There's only so many excuses I can think of for not buying one when my next upgrade is due!

Well that is generally the point of a company selling a product. They already have the most beautiful and compact of all the machines on the market so if they get super compatibility into their operating system then people will be having less and less excuses not to change! :D

At least I've always got the "but it's a Mac!" excuse.

Well to be fair you don't even need an excuse - it could just be 'I don't want to buy that'. I am not such a 'fanboy' that I need to insist that all my friends own macs!
