Okay, so now I'll be able to boot Winders on my Mac... or at least I will when I switch to an Intel Mac, which I don't foresee for a bit. I leave the bleeding edge to people who don't mind getting cut a little. But anyway.
So, do I cheer because now I don't have drop money on both my latest dose of Apple and a PC capable of playing UberFPSr0x0rz2010? (Moot point for me-- the great thing about being employed as a graphics programmer is that your work laptop breathes fire.) Or do I lament the fact that my hopes for game companies (other than Blizzard... we love you, Blizzard) to ever publish much for the Mac have now had yet more dousing?
Or do I moan because this removes a migration barrier, increasing the chances that more of my neighbors are going to become hip, smug Macsters who try to buddy up to me when they see I have one?
Hmmm. This requires contemplation.
