Apple’s Boot Camp Will Turn Gamers Into Switchers

Apple’s release of Boot Camp, which allows you to run Windows XP on Intel Macs, has a lot of people excited, but none more than gamers.
Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of people make the jump from Windows to Mac and been extremely happy in doing so, but gamers as a group are usually the most reluctant and with good reason. The breadth of games that is available on Windows but not on the Mac is a major factor for gamers and generally more than enough to stop the shift. Although a lot of the major games are available for both platforms, like World of Warcraft, those I know who consider themselves PC gamers would rather not have their options limited.
Now a gamer can get an Intel Mac and jump over to Windows at any time to play the game of their choice.

Some think the effect will be that more Mac users convert to Windows…
