Murrey I know you are a Mac man and thought you might get a kick out of this. Mac, Meet Windows Maya Roney, 03.17.06, 11:51 AM ET For PC dependents with Mac cravings -- and software-deprived Mac users -- Apple Computer's transition to Intel chips ignited dreams of a day when Mac and PC hardware and software could exist interchangeably in one blissful technological paradise. That day may come sooner than expected, now that two California techies who go by the handles "narf" and "blanka" have become the first to succeed in loading Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows XP onto an Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) Mac in a contest organized by Mac-enthusiast Colin Nederkoorn. Nederkoorn, a Houston-based ship broker, needed both a Mac operating system to design presentations on the job and Microsoft Outlook for his work e-mail. So, he figured he would donate $100 of his own money to anyone who could create his dream product. Five-hundred donors joined him in the effort, with the most generous pledging $1,111 to reach a final prize sum of $13,840. "People were excited about supporting a project like this," said Nederkoorn in a phone interview. And the contest's juicy incentive got impressive results. According to Nederkoorn, you simply turn on your computer and press the up key to see an Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) OS logo, or the down key to see a Windows logo. Then you choose whichever system you desire at the time. Of course, the dual-boot technique is far from perfect at this point. "It's kind of laggy, and people are still trying to find the right driver and figure out what works," Nederhoorn admitted. The method is available on the contest's Web site, which is currently bogged down with heavy traffic. It's also on several other mirror sites, but you may have to dig for them. With a little tinkering, a smooth-running system could brighten the lives of frustrated computer users everywhere. The software that is currently available for Mac is limited enough to make even diehard Mac fans a little bitter. With a Windows option, users might play that one game, or use that one program that they could never before use on their beloved Mac. Windows lovers may be equally excited to use the system on sleekly-designed Apple hardware, and those who like both PCs and Macs for different reasons could now have the best of both worlds. "It was always clear that someone was going to do this," said Jupiter Research Apple analyst Michael Gartenberg. "It gives users a great level of flexibility -- and it's hard to imagine that it's a bad thing for either Apple or Microsoft." When Apple announced its shift to Intel processors in June 2005, the company said it would not sell or support Windows itself, but would do nothing to prevent users from running that system. Analysts have long been saying that the ability to run Windows on Mac hardware would increase Apple's Mac sales and market share, and Microsoft would certainly not suffer from the extra Windows sales. "It's now going to be interesting to see if Microsoft will take this on," said Gartenberg.
