Windows Xp On New Macs! A very nice competition...

[heavensounds 0]

Author of the page http://winxponmac.com/ organized a competition with a great reward for someone, who is capable enough to run Windows XP on new iMacs with Intel processors.

Rules were the following:

1. You should run Win XP and not Vista or any other version of Windows
2. The outcome must be a classical dual boot between OS X and Win XP
3. Virtual equipment such as Xen or WMware is strictly forbidden
4. The first contestant who is going to send the solution (with pictures) is the winner

On 16.3.2006 the competition was over and the winners are narf2006 and Blanka. They succesfully bypassed EFI - limitations and sent instructions and a movie, which showes the installation and boot of WinXP - they won a prize of $13.854.

Well it really pays of to be a programmer these days
