Public Beta of Boot Camp makes Windows available on Intel based Apple computers (please see official press release and official homepage) .What would Windows on Mac bring to average users and administrators?This is definitely good news for average users as Windows has all these applications that are missing on Mac OS.Another point is that Apple products look more attractive for people.However, it is still under question how well Mac hardware will be supported under Windows.

And this is the interesting news: Windows server 2003 & Longhorn server enterprise edition will allow you to run up to 4 virtual servers (for 2003/Longhorn enterprise) & unlimited virtual servers (for Long Horn datacenter) without incurring additional operating system licensing costs.
