Hokay, so, I'm getting a MacBook in a few months (Mac haters gtfo.) . And I found out that there is an interesting program that somes preloaded to all Apple computers. It is called boot camp. This means that it allows you to run Windows on your mac to run all of your non-mac friendly programs such as steam, Left 4 Dead, and all of the first person shooters that you can't run on a mac.

Only one problem.

You need your own copy of windows vista or XP to run it, or you can use a reboot disk from your PC instead. Other than that, Mac is becoming more and more PC user-friendly!

I personally use parallels, it's 50 bucks and you still need a copy of Windows XP/Vista and it runs smoother, and no restarting :) Works like an application, could be used full screen or just in a simple window.

I use BootCamp, it runs great, but restarting can be annoying.

old news is old. Boot camp came out almost two years ago.

I use bootcamp. I don't even bother with Mac OS anymore.
It runs better than any other PC program solutions for mac, because it's not an emulator.
