【編譯謝璦竹/綜合五日電】

蘋果電腦5日推出新軟體,可供最新款麥金塔電腦執行微軟的視窗XP作業系統,消息公布後,那斯達克早盤蘋果股價勁升7.2%。

名為Boot Camp的軟體5日起在蘋果電腦網站供免費下載,該軟體用於使用英特爾微處理器的麥金塔電腦,該軟體將整合在蘋果下一代作業系統「美洲豹」(Leop- ard)中。蘋果在1月中首度推出使用英特爾Duo雙核心微處理器的麥金塔電腦,處理速度是使用PowerPC的麥金塔二至三倍快。

In a stunning move, Apple on Wednesday officially sanctioned the running of the Windows XP operating system on Intel-based Macs through the release of a software package. Called Boot Camp, the 86MB beta product provides a dual-boot sequence and the drivers necessary to run Windows.

"Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
