I found that whole statement to be be confusing:
"In addition to booting Windows XP at blazing speeds, the included version of Mac OS X for Intel takes "as little as 10 seconds" to boot to the Desktop from when the Apple logo first displays on screen."
Are they saying that the included version of Mac OS X boots Windows XP at blazing speeds (in Virtual PC or something)? If not, why would Windows perform any different than on another PC with the same specs? There really isn't anything there that would make Windows boot faster than expected, besides the fact that it was probably a clean install which will always give you a faster boot time.
I was under the impression that Intel Macs wouldn't be able to run Windows, at least not without some sort of workaround. Or are they leaving the developer machines open to install both OSes?
