We have a lot of Macs in PC Labs, but we also like Windows. So what could be better than getting them all mixed up? Check out the pictures below or return to the main story about booting Windows XP on a Mac. 
From left to right: an iMac 20" running Windows XP, a MacBook Pro running XP, a Mac Mini running XP, and an iMac G5 20" running OS X 10.4. The XP machines are connected to the OS X machine using the VNC remote desktop software, and have the OS X desktop open as a window in XP. 
A slightly better zoom on our XP Macs, showing the Start menu on each one. 
The screen of our iMac 20", with a VNC window showing the OS X connection and the Start menu showing that yes, this is Windows XP.

I totally like your idea and professional solution! But one thing I don't see is why you want to access a Mac over VNC, while sitting in front of one. Is there any need of it for the benchmarks?

I guess they wanted to give the shot a touch of humor or what have you

Apple released a 2 button scroll mouse almost a year ago that ships with all new desktops.

What is the purpuse of doing this? Why someone will buy a mac to install windows Xp or event Vista? I don't understand.

I think running xp on a mac, is cool, I don't like XP, but its here to stay, and now I can get windows games that will run better on mac hardware anyway, and run them earlier than waiting for mac games, mac default, the xp boot option, a secondary choice. cool. hopefully the intel chip will hold up, bye motorola.

really cool, i want to get an iMac sometime. I hope windows vista will be able to run on the mac as well, that would be cool.
