+vlsi0n Subscriber¹ Posted March 13, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think its ironic that someone would buy a iMac and then go and put Windows on it, I mean the reason for spending more money on the hardware is because its the only way to get OSX Tiger. :blink: I hat0rz win(M$)d0z but I run it on my ma(tiger)c..? I guess maybe for programs that are only for windows but there are freeware alternatives? :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/441650-intel-imac-running-xp/page/6/#findComment-587303815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
