(Video) New MacBook OS Switching

A MacBook owner shows us just how easy it is to switch between OSX, Windows XP, and Linux. Watch after the jump.
This video is a little longer than it needs to be to make its point, but it is a good illustration of how the MacBook can handle emulating 2 OSes whilst running OS X

wow... that's amazing to me. I've heard of Mac running WIndows, but being ablet o quickly switch between them, and Linux too is fantastic! This long video (too long really. the point is made after 1/4 of it) really made me think that my company could use these and save money, as we wouldn't need to get all our DEVs Mac's as well as their 'native' Windows PCs. I don't suppose there's an internal clipboard that will work between OS's, is there? that would be awesome

I think its a Linux shell running The MacOS and the Windows OS. That animation between OSs is common in one of the Linux builds. Seems like it would be slower on the two emulated OS's no ?

james, can you understand the maybe mac took the odes of the switch from mac, and used it, i'm not too sure about this, but also keep in mind its fully possible to run windows on the new mac intel processors because its the same coding, her that, THE SAME CODING for new windows and Mac, i'm personally about to try installing mew mac OS on my PC

@B.K. I don’t suppose there’s an internal clipboard that will work between OS’s, is there? that would be awesome As long as a program in one OS can save data to the HDD, it would be accessible -- so, yeah, it's at least possible to have a clipboard that operates across all of the OSes. I'm just not sure if it's been done. That said, you could just use Backpack or Google Notebook and keep browser windows open.
