Noved84 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Will Windows Vista will not support EFI for 32 bit chips. As stated here: http://apcmag.com/apc/v3.nsf/0/E666E4A0A30...A25712C008166C4 Hate to say it, but it seems that if this is Microsoft's strategy, they may be directly trying to keep us from installing windows on our macs. I know i know, who cares, microsoft is selling us straight copies, but in the long run, look at it this way. Apple running windows is bad for dell, bad for gateay, therefore, bad for microsoft. People who just want to run a few games and a few apps most likely won't upgrade with every realese of windows. Once we get our one copy, we won't go back as long as the apps are still running. But, just because they don't do it, doesn't mean we can't. Maybe darwine or vmware or hell, even VPC will work at native/near native speeds with access to drivers and the hardware and what not.

INFNITE Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 at this point, i'm just waiting for legit virtual machine solutions like VMWare or Virtual PC. I really don't think the dual booting will get anywhere anytime soon, especially now that EFI has ben taken out of Vista. Maybe VirtualPC will have built in Direct3D to let you play games....maybe I'm just dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
