Jeff Sankovich and I presented two sessions today at the eTech Ohio State Technology Conference. Our sessions were both entitled, "Running Microsoft Windows on Apple Macintosh Computers." We demonstrated a number of ways that schools and individuals can run Windows on their Macs. They can boot natively in Apple's Boot Camp software, or they can boot via "Parallels Desktop for Mac" in a virtual machine. 
 
Apple was right to enable this technology. There were at least 20 different schools/individuals that approached us asking how they could create dual boot Macintosh computers. A number of them said that they have been Windows-only schools for many years. My favorite line was from a gentlemen that said for many years they couldn't have Macs in their district because of their Windows-only policies. Now they will be able to choose the right tool for the job at hand. He said, "...students and teachers will be able to finally use Apple's iLife multimedia programs...we can finally have the best of both worlds now that Macs run Windows." 
 
I find it very rewarding to see that more and more people will finally be able to see the amazing iLife software that Apple ships with every Macintosh.  
 
Time for a rest.
