Anyone heard if Boot Camp will be ported to PowerPC macs like a G5?

Won't ever happen, for a vast number of reasons, perhaps the most important being that there is no substantive demand for such a thing.

A G5 isn't going to boot Windows even if they did.

Not until XP is ported to PPC.

Oh it must be the fact that it is "universal binary". It has NO USE on
G5 of course.

If you want to "online partition" your drives, e.g. without formatting.
There is "iPartition" and "Disk Studio", both available on
versiontracker. As iPartition also comes with "iDefrag Lite", I suggest
it in case Micromat one (studio) does not defrag. It is a must to
"defrag" for such thing.

I mean, if you want to experiment Linux etc.

The purpose of Boot Camp is to enable Windows XP to *boot* on Intel
chips in a Mac, Q.E.D. it *cannot* work on Power PC Macs.

This would only work if Microsoft re-wrote Windows to run on a PowerPC processor chip.

Boot Camp is not an emulator. It works on Intel chips because Microsoft Windows was written to work on Intel chips. An Intel chip can not run
PowerPC code and a PowerPC chip can not run Intel code without an
emulator, and Boot Camp is not an emulator.

IIRC, NT4.0 came with PPC, Mips and Alpha support, as well as Intel
support. The first 3 in that last died a death, leaving only Intel
support on later releases.

Don't be ridiculous. It's just a boot loader. No way to run XP
(or Vista) on PPC.

Boot Camp is not an emulator. It works on Intel chips because Microsoft Windows was written to work on Intel chips. An Intel chip can not run
PowerPC code and a PowerPC chip can not run Intel code without an
emulator, and Boot Camp is not an emulator.

Actually XP is designed to work on chips that utilise the x86
architecture, not necessarily those made by Intel. AMD and IBM also
make x86 chips, among others. Sorry to be pedantic, but it's just the
way things are.

True. However, Apple only uses Intel chips, not AMD chips or other x86
chips. So for the purposes of discussing whether or not Boot Camp can be
made to work on a PowerPC Mac, the distinction is between "PowerPC" and "Intel" processors rather than "PowerPC" and "x86" processors. (If Apple
used other x86 processors in their computers, then the distinction would
be more important.)
