The Boot Camp phenomenon

I mentioned two days ago here about the introduction of Boot Camp from Apple, and if you happen to read any news at all, you'll probably spot at least one headline that is related to Boot Camp.

According to this article from Engaget, only the second day of Boot Camp introduction, ppl have been trying so many different things with it: Dual booting linux, installing Vista, or Windows with native languages. Some are even trying to run games on it already.

The introduction of Boot Camp really got a lot of attention, so much that other similar things are almost taken for granted. For example, Something called Parallel workstation was also introduced recently. It's aim is to allow u to run multiple OS at the same time, so that you dont have to reboot your machine to switch between OSs.



Personally I dont really think Boot Camp is useful (well, except for gamers), rather, I'd prefer something like Parallel workstation. This is because I wonder how much I'd like to reboot my computer, if all i need from windows is just to use apps like Visio for a moment?
