I read something this morning that said the units WILL run Windows if you choose. I'm not sure exactly how this works but if that's true, then it's most likely VERY EASY to set up the system to dual boot - You wanna play poker? Reboot into Windows and play away. Wanna do real work (again, not starting a war here )? Reboot into OSX.

If this is the case I'm REALLY kicking myself in the ass now for buying a new notebook in August '05. Shoulda waited. Grr.

I think you can dual boot easily, but you void your license and warranty with Apple if you put Windows on the machine.

I'm not sure you do with these machines. Apparently Jobs himself said they would run Windows easily. (At least I'm pretty sure that's what I heard on CNN's Headline News. Waiting for it to play again for confirmation)

Follow up information. I just read that the new Intel Macs will NOT support WinXP EASILY (as in much hacking required apparently). However, if you happen to have a beta of Vista - boot away! Something to do with Intel's EFI.

Here's the link to the info:
