Apple supports Windows on Macs

If you care about this sort of thing it's doubtful that you're hearing it here first, but it's such a big deal to Apple fans, such as myself, that I have to mention it anyway. Apple is introducing Boot Camp Public Beta which supplies drivers and other support for running XP on Mac hardware.

It's a good idea for the sake of increasing Mac hardware sales. But I imagine a lot of people in the Mac community are going to wonder if it also means there will be less momentum behind the development of OS X. Is it a coincidence that Apple's chief software technology officer, Avie Tevanian, has very recently announced that he is leaving?
