Gouki Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) XP kills MACs ? Apparently a driver problem is stoping the FAN from going on, and is melting MACs around the world! hehehttp://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=187294 Edited March 20, 2006 by Gouki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouki Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) LOL. Good point ... However, I read a more recent article saying that afterall, Windows was not killing them. I'll search and post it here.Well, you can't say Mac users don't hunt down rumors and quash them quickly (though some are, of course, just as guilty of spreading rumors)! It appears that the fans in Macs do indeed go on regardless of which OS is running, though there is apparently some concern about how the fans are regulated by software over time. Several commenters have pointed out that even in some earlier Mac models, running non-Apple OSes (i.e., Linux) could result in the fans running constantly, due to a lack of Apple power-management software. So, the good news seems to be that, no, XP won't melt your Mac. The bad news? Your fans may whirr constantly, causing a bit of noise pollution, and possibly draining your batteries before their time if you're using a MacBookPro. We do have every confidence that narf, blanka and the rest will resolve this issue -- and probably for a lot less than $13,000.
