Paul Thurrott revies Boot Camp on his Windows SuperSite

Boot CampIf you thought that only Mac fans were downloading and trying out Boot Camp, you're dead wrong. Paul Thurrott, who runs the SuperSite for Windows (yes, Hell is a website), has published his review of Boot Camp. Overall the review gives a positive opinion of Boot Camp, though Thurrott does have some problems with it. These problems are generally ones that almost everyone has mentioned including not being able to create multiple partitions with Boot Camp, compatibility issues between HFS+ and NTFS, and the fact that Boot Camp lacks virtualization. But it's still cool to see a Windows geek reviewing a piece of Mac software. Maybe Boot Camp really is bridging the gap between Windows and OS X.
