Windows on Intel Mac Contest is Over

It’s official. The hack has been completed. “narf2006” and “blanka”, two programmers were able to build a dual boot iMac Intel. There are screen shots over at ArsTechnica’s Infinite Loop and it’s been confirmed that it is not a hoax.

For those unaware, a website titled Windows XP on Mac has been collecting a pool of donations for anyone who could successfully boot Windows XP on an unmodified Intel Mac. The pool grew slowly at first, but as the news of the contest spread, it passed the US$13,000 mark.

What will the future hold?
