With the introduction of Apple's Dual Core Intel based product, the natural question on all us Geeks minds was, "Will the new Macs run Windows?"

Well the answer is here:

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today. As elegant as it gets

Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.(1) Boot Camp will burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don't have to scrounge around the Internet looking for them.
System Manager

Optional alt. At startup, hold down the option key (alt) to choose between Mac OS X and Windows.
Run XP natively

Once you've completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That's the "alt" key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac.

The choice between buying a Mac Notebook and a PC one, just got a LOT easier, and some people in Austin are getting very nervous at this point.
