Windows Xp and the Intel Mac

Hackers smile as they successfully installed and run Windows XP with the Intel Mac on Apple Computers.

PC World’s Danny Allen posted the picture below as proof that he successfully done it.

Win Mac

I want to try it too, but I don’t have Mac or Apple Computer here. What I have are all PC Compatibles with Intel and Athlon processors.

Blank and Narf are the hackers who did it as part of the contest and won $14,000.00 for it. According to the Nederkoorn’s contest:

The requirements were that the user must be able to boot either OS X or Windows XP – not Vista or other versions– at startup, without using virtualisation. Nederkoorn’s motivation was practical: he wanted to be able to use one machine for both purposes – although he didn’t specify that the two OSes be able to communicate with each other in real time, which would have been even more useful.

How to do it?

To produce a dual-boot Mac, users must customize a Windows XP installation CD by burning a new disc that includes the custom bootloader files. The Mac must also be partitioned — a disk partitioning utility is included with the machine — so that Mac OS X and Windows XP can co-exist on the same drive. (LINK)
