The moment Apple announced it was going to switch over to using Intel chips in its Mac computers, people started to wonder if they would finally be able to install Windows on a Mac.

Apple didn't seem terribly keen on the idea, so when the first Intel-based Macs arrived in January , the hacker community to see what they could do.

They cracked it by the middle of March (as reported in the Test Bed ), but the process was so long and complicated that it hardly seemed worth the effort.
