As if there weren't already enough incentive for geeks to figure out how to dual-boot Windows on an Intel Mac: there's a bounty, currently up to $10,000, being offered for the first person to accomplish it.
No takers thus far. I thought it'd be easier than that... but then maybe that funky EFI neo-BIOS is proving a tougher nut to crack than anticipated.
Is there a similar bounty on getting OS X to run on generic Intel hardware? That one's the real toughy, isn't it?
Oh, and lest people think it's just Apple-denigrating information-wants-to-be-free nerds doing this, Delicious Monster is one of the biggest sponsors so far. They probably see quite a bit of value in making the Mac something that can ease Windows users into the Mac universe, allowing them to boot into Windows when they need to and yet only have to deal with one computer...
