Can XP Embedded on Intel Macs be far behind?

Slashdot and others are reporting that attempts to dual boot Windows XP on the new Apple-Intel Macs were successful.

Here's a video of XP going through setup and then the user browsing the desktop (you can skip through to the good parts). Looks like Device Manager on the resulting OS enumerated most of the devices without issue which is pretty impressive, including installing the ACPI Multi Processor HAL, though the nic was banged out.

I guess my April Fools joke from last year wasn't too far off base after all. <grin>

So who out there will be the first to install and successfully boot an XPe image on the Intel Mac? I've got a Windows Embedded T-Shirt for you if you can prove it.

$13,000 can be gotten anywhere... but a Windows Embedded T-Shirt is something even money can't buy.
