Subject: Re: [motm] Re: MOTM-650 mac users: mac bootcamp = MS XP on intelmac = 650 updating from Mac

Yeah, I'll have to disagree completely and say "As long as you've got a
midi interface (USB) that is supported in windows, it will work 100%
perfectly fine in Windows-XP-on-the-intel-mac."

It's really just a dual boot, it's not inside emulation or
virtualization, as the new macs ∗are∗ PCs, just with a different
firmware system instead of a standard PC bios. Oh, and they look nicer =]

Of course, this means you'll need to shell out the $250 or whatever for
your Windows XP license... yuckies! FOSS, people!
