PC World’s Techlog has a short piece talking about the upcoming emergence of ‘Windows Vista Capable’ PCs:

“The Vista Capable designation doesn’t promise that a PC will provide a great Vista experience, or even that it’ll support all Vista features or features…just that it’ll be able to run Windows Vista Home Basic in some not-very-well-defined-but-apparently-adequate way. At the moment, there are still new PCs on store shelves that don’t meet the Vista Capable guidelines–for instance, low-end systems still sport 256MB of RAM in some cases.”

How does Mac fit into this?

ExtremeTech reports that BAPCo, the industry-standard Windows benchmarking consortium, announced that Apple Computer has joined up as a member. BAPCo is responsible for the SYSmark 2004SE and MobileMark benchmark suites used for testing PCs. BAPCo also produces the webserver test WEBmark.

This is viewed as evidence by MacWindows and Gearlog that Apple will support running Windoze on Intel Macs
