An avid Mac user has managed to install and boot Windows Vista an on Intel Mac, according to report on the OSx86 Project website. The site says that despite Apple's beta release of its Boot Camp software and several previous successful attempts at getting the installer to work, actually making Vista run on an Intel Mac has still proven to be quite a challenge. The user has taken screenshots of his success, but says he had to delete the Mac OS X partition to get Vista running. The OSx86 Project, which says it is a good start and congratulated the user in a blog post, earlier this year was served a DMCA notice by Apple and forced to shut down its user forums after it posted content that listed steps to install Mac OS X for Intel on non-Mac hardware.
I installed the lastest Vista build on my computer, MS still has a lot of work to do. If they ever get it figured out it could be really nice, as it stands now its way to unstable.

BUt the question still remains... WHY???
Exactly.
Like Slick supposedly told hillary about Monica, "Because I could." Much of all this Mac vs PC, Windows/Vista vs OSX is just geek mental master something or other.
It will all shake out in the marketplace like everything always does.
