Half mac-half pc machine?

[mikehende]

I can remember reading up on a potential machine which would be half mac-half pc but don't know if it was ever developed, anyone know of this or is there a notebook which supports both mac and windows?

There are several techniques of running Windows on an Intel-based Mac: bootcamp is one, parallels is another

With Parallels, you can run Windows and Mac at the same time in the same partition!

Yes - the Exton PC Council gave a presentation on doing this on Monday. I'm sure I posted it here. Also - there is another application called CrossOver which allows you to run Windows applications on a Mac without a Windows license. It doesn't run Windows, just the applilcations.

Appreciate the info Fred but I am already aware of this, there is also "crossover mac" to add to that list, what I am trying to find is that specific machine which is supposed to be 1/2 mac 1/2 pc, will post back here if I find it.

Can't do all of them though. I wonder if its sibling Cedega (focuses on games) and parent Wine run on macs.
