Snackman: Apple Boot Camp. Future TPM support?
Assuming Apple Mac OS users are concerned about multifactor authentication, data protection, password management they will benefit from TPMs and ETS. Although, they do not seem concerned about viruses and spyware like Win users.
Apple Leopard os due in 2007 will have Boot Camp built-in. Rollout timing close to Vista. Interesting to see whether TPM compatibility and software built-in for both Win and Apple os partitions. Our Intel mb relationship should pay dividends with Apple.
Whew! Dividends? It will be a sweet day when we have growth coupled with a large WAVX dividend distribution.
Good test review article on page B1 of todays WSJ. Highlights below.
Boot Camp, free from Apple. Named so because {b}requires a reboot to run in separate partition as either Win XP or Mac os. Not simultaneous like Msft Virtual Machine.{/b}
Must purhcase Win XP separately (Home $199, Pro $299). Apple no plans to sell. Msft may not support on Mac.
Today there is a lack of apps for full featured business appl for Macs so power users will need larger drive partition for Win or more than one HD.
