MacBook and iMac won’t run Windows XP

Posted in Apple on the January 11th, 2006

When Apple announced it’s switch to Intel processors, people rejoiced since they thought they could now dual boot Mac and Windows instead of running it through a emulator (Virtual PC). But Apple has gone one step further by using the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) developed by Intel instead of BIOS, in it’s MacBooks and iMacs. On the other hand Windows does not use EFI as a result the current versions of Windows will not dual boot on the MacBooks and iMacs. But do not despair as Windows Vista will most probably support EFI.
