Vista on an iMac

Someone who goes by the handle AirmanPika on the OSx86 Project forum has managed to install Vista on an Intel iMac using the new Boot Camp software.

Unfortunately, the procedure has yet to be perfected:

AirmanPika: “I went through the basic steps of installing bootcamp, the firmware, etc and then started the install. When you get to the section where it asks where to actually install vista….well here’s the main problem…you delete all of them. Even OSX. Yes this isn’t a dual boot solution (yet anyway) but it does allow vista to run.”

So there isn’t a dual boot solution yet, and there are a few glitches in the way that Vista operates on the iMac, but you can be sure that those problems will be ironed out before long.

For more info (and pics) check out the OSx86 project forum.
