This is how it all works...it is quite interesting.

Apparently, a "virtual" partition is created and that is where XP
lives. My only question is if this "firmware update" that allows
Window to run on the Intel Macs poses potential virus/worm etc.
issues that up until now we have been immune from. (yes..yes...I
know. It is partially that there aren't as many people trying to
write nasty little pieces of code for the Mac.) But Open Firmware
was more secure than the Microsoft BIOS. So I am really curious as
to how exactly the firmware update changes EFI in it's current state.

I think it will be interesting to see if WinXP can be registered on
the new
CPU for those that will be trying to transfer their old WinXP to the
IntelMAC.

For people who didn't click Karen's link -- Apple has introduced a

their
own solution.
Let's hope that this will still keep the Mac and it's OS alive. On
the other
hand I believe this is great news! I am pretty sure many people
(including
myself) will use this as an excuse to upgrade their computers to
the new
intel Macs. I am waiting to hear how special Win software (in my case
especially Audio software) will perform on those Macs, and how well it
interacts with the hardware, and with USB and Firewire devices like
my Motu.
