Yep... you have to reboot to use it. But, there are plenty of
emulators out there that work side-by-side with MacOS.

We could save a couple of thousand dollars and boot my Samsung NC10
netbook
to WinXP....Apple OS X.....Linux and not need to run all the apple
emulator crapware to drag everything down. Here's the video of the OS X
netbook. $410 delivered at Costcentral.com!

Fantastic little netbook....NO GLOSSY SCREEN is a pleasure to watch!!



Nice, but you still have to boot into what you want right? The emulation I
have allows you to switch back and forth on the fly and you can share data
back and forth. I don't find it to drag it much, but it's a desktop box. I'm
not sure why I would need to switch back and forth either with boot or
emulation if I had it on my boat. Seems to me, I'd be on one or the other,
depending on what runs natively.
