Chess Pieces
The chess pieces are slowly coming into place.
A few weeks ago, Apple released BootCamp, giving Intel Macs the ability to run Windows in its own partition. Step 1: Make it feasible to run Windows natively -- Check!
A few days ago, Apple released Bonjour for Windows. For those not familiar, Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, is a network protocol built-in to OS X which enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, services on IP networks. Step 2. Make it feasible to "talk" to Windows efficiently -- Check!
The only missing piece is something to tie them all together. Step 3: Virtualize! Step 3: Virtualize and run Windows inside OS X with full drag and drop capabilities (via Bonjour), running at native speeds (since Apple has all the tech specs on the hardware) in its own partition (Bootcamp).--Still missing!
My fearless forecast, August 2006 at WWDC. Steve will annouce the third piece as a feature in OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard). You heard it here first folks!
