If you’re thinking about trying this on your own Intel-based Mac, you should know that Really Bad Things are possible. This isn’t meant to be an installation guide, but I will talk about installing the patch, discuss what it takes to get XP working, the risks involved in a project such as this, and finally, how well the finished product works. What follows is a description of my experience, both good and bad, with the entire process from start to finish. After drawing the short straw volunteering to help out, I set out to see what it would take to install the hack, get XP up and running on my Intel-powered Mac mini, and then see what kind of Windows XP machine I had on my hands. That contest, to get the Microsoft operating system running on an Intel-based Mac, has been won, meaning it’s now at least theoretically possible to run Windows natively on your Intel-based Mac (while still retaining a separate OS X installation).
What’s next-Windows XP running on an Apple-built machine? Exactly, thanks to the Windows XP on Intel Mac challenge. First, Intel-built processors wind up in the Mac.
