The new classic
In this article on Daring Fireball John Gruber really nails how meaningful it is that Apple users can now run Windows on their Intel Macs. The essence of the matter:
In the same way that Mac users found themselves in a race to go Classic-free after switching to OS X, and that running apps through Classic was viewed from the get-go as something to be done while holding one’s nose, so too will Windows be viewed in the post-Boot Camp world.
The impact of this decision has not been lost on the media — if the New York Times is covering it, you know it’s a big deal.
