A Tour Of The Enemy’s Camp
No, not The Screwtape Letters, but a hefty photo-laden tour of Microsoft’s Macintosh lab.
Their setup is truly one to be envied.
(0) #Bootcamp, Take Two
I’ve had my previously-documented problems with Apple’s Bootcamp and silently cursed everyone from Redmond to Cupertino in my casting about to find someone to blame.
