Marriage of Windows, Macs is near bliss 


Remarkable as it sounds, an Apple iMac, at least in most respects, can become the most appealing Windows computer in your house. The machine is blazing fast. Its beautiful 20-inch display could be your nicest.

This near-miraculous transformation is made possible, of course, thanks to Apple's Boot Camp software. You would have had to be buried under an MS-DOS computer to have missed the apocalyptic arrival of this "beta" program; Boot Camp lets owners of Macintoshes with Intel processors run Microsoft Windows XP. That's not all. Northern Virginia start-up Parallels has unveiled beta software that lets Macs and Windows live in harmony on the same system.

You may be delighted about being able to operate XP on a Mac, if only because the idea still seems so outrageous. Yes, Microsoft's Virtual PC "emulation" software has been able to do Windows, too, for some time. But it's agonizingly slow and not compatible with Intel Macs.
