Engadget reports: Some guy called narf2006 has been able to install Windows XP on his intel Mac, and is inviting other MacTel users to try out his EFI hack, to install XP. He will also probably win the $12,000 Prize for being the first to do so.
So, wha'dya guy's think?

What would somebody want to ruin an apple by installing crappy XP onto it?....but suppose by him achieving it is no small feat.

@Shyam: My thoughts precisely, this fellow must have written some damn tough low level code for getting the ntldr running on EFI. But considering that he is openly inviting any MacTel user to use his method and is making a claim on the $12,000, he must have really done it.

I'd be more impressed if someone got Mac OSX running on a wintel machine. Now THAT would hot up the competition a bit

@rocky: If someone got Mac OSX on a regular PC, that would drive apple out of the hardware business.

Mac OSX is possibly the most desirable OS out there. It is perfect (except for the Application backing that it has

Mac OS X 10.4.5 can already be run on certain bog-standard PCs.
A hacker by the name of Maxxuss (Google it) has all the patches to let an original Mac OS X install disk for Intel Macs install on a PC.
