Re: [MLUG] Mac moving to Intel

I agree with Nathan and Justin about vmware.  It rox, for the most part. 
Had one problem with it hosing my Virtual WindowsXP, but other than 
that...

What I wish they would do is somehow embed VMWare in the BIOS, so you can 
buy a machine with VMWare installed, and that's it.  Then you can install 
whatever virtual OSs tickle your fancy.
