Microsoft en ‘Educación 2.0′

Estoy conmovido con la generosidad de Microsoft, de permitirá a nuestro Estado la compra de sistemas operativos a 40 euros (ElMundo.es: Sistemas operativos a 40 euros para apoyar el proyecto ‘Educación 2.0′).

¿Quién podría sucumbir ante los encantos de M$? Además de dejar su sistema operativo a precio de saldo, ofrece formación al profesorado, que en algunos casos le hará buena falta. Esto son puestos de trabajo, que serán bienvenidos en una situación económica como la actual, y engordar las partidas dedicadas a la educación en los presupuestos generales.

No entiendo entonces para que las distintas comunidades autónomas han gastado su dinero para crear sus propias distribuciones Linux, con Linex a la cabeza, Lliurex, Linkat, Guadalinex, Molinux, Asturix, MAX, etc. (esta es la España de las autonomías, y nada de tratar de aunar esfuerzos siguiendo el ejemplo del mundo del software libre).

La jugada de Microsoft va más allá del simple hecho económico (que a pesar de la rebaja debe aportar una buena cantidad de ingresos a la compañía)… Tratar de buscar el mercado cautivo. Cada niño aprendiendo a usar el S.O. de las ventanas desde temprana edad, al fin y al cabo si los ordenadores lo traen de serie por algo será.

Aunque las políticas de Microsoft de vez en cuando son extrañas. Ha sido capaz de hacer un sitema operativo tan revolucionarios con Windows Vista y un paquete de ofimática tan “novedoso” con MsOffice 2007, que a pesar de los años de uso de sus productos, es necesario volver a replantearse como funciona todo, donde encontrar la función esta que estaba siempre por aquí. Ante esta situación, no es de extrañar que algunos usuarios prefieran probar otros sistemas operativos (Linux y MacOs principalmente) una vez puestos a tener que aprender de nuevo a manejar sus ordenadores.

Con lo que me queda la duda, después de leer el artículo, es cómo deben ser las ensaladas que se come la señora presidenta de Microsoft Ibérica, María Garaña (el precio final será “menos de lo que me gasto cada día en una ensalada”).

Followed your instructions on my macbook pro because I wanted to do the same thing and have issues when installing WinXP Pro it gives me the whole missing hal.dll which most people complain on the apple discussion board how did you get around that issue?
Did you use winclone for xp and not mention it. Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn’t work for me: impossible to create Linux partitions and WinXP has a hall.dll missing file error. I’m not interested in Vista (it’s really crappy, as I switched to mac because Vista is now preinstalled on every pc laptop.) so I skipped this step. Maybe it’s this step that fails everything.

I got around the missing DLL issue by booting into Vista and changing the XP boot.ini (must view hidden and system files) on the XP partition, however this got me past the hal.dll message but after the XP splash screen it just stops, no message nothing… so I am still unable to get it to boot properly. I had to change my partition to "one" back so even though it is physical partition 3 XP seems to like this – multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Please post back if you find a fix, I would love to get this working.

@all: Hi, sorry for my non-reply, but I never had any DLL missing issue. I personally use Italian version of both Windows, but I think hal.dll is a core component so language doesn’t mind. Oh, mine is a Macbook 3,1 but this tutorial worked also for many other models;

@watstein: no I followed exactly these steps, never used Winclone;

@john_locke2342. I updated this tutorial for a triple boot mac w/o Vista, that worked for me flawlessly;

@edelbug: A dumb tweak for those in your situation was to switch #3 STORAGE partition with #2 XP partition (don’t know W-H-Y). Updated this in the tutorial now.

This tutorial ia available with a slighty better formattation here: http://www.fosk.it/quad-booting-a-macbook.html

This updated tutorial is correct now. It swaps the XP partition and the STORAGE partition. XP can only be installed on the 4th partition in this situation or there will be a missing hal.dll error which watstein, john_locke2342, and edelbug has encountered

Also, the firmware update need to install is MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.1, not Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 which solves another keyboard issue where the first key press may be ignored if the computer has been sitting idle.

"If you want to obtain a triple boot macbook, without installing Vista don’t create the VISTA partition on step 2)"
but a partition is still needed here, to make the XP partition the 4th one.
in a triple boot, this partition can be MacOS partition.

Thanks to everyone! I just scorched earth and started over with the new instuctions and everything worked flawlessly. Just as a tip for anyone who is interested, I set mine up with both Tiger and Leopard, in addition to Vista and XP. I just wanted to be able to run tests for some applications and this setup worked like a champ. Just need to follow the directions as stated but setup the last partition formatted for MacOS and I installed Tiger last. Thanks again, I am very happy camper now.

Hi,
can I just add one more partition between Mac OS and Ubuntu so that I can install Tiger as well? I want to have 5 different operating systems on my MacBook Pro: XP (32), Vista (64), Tiger, Leopard, and Ubuntu. Well does Tiger run on the latest MacBook Pro models at all?

I don’t know if this is covered I didn’t read the whole thing yet but could I use this exact method to simply duel boot with Ubuntu and Mac? Thanks

Well, I’d say one copy of XP would do. Why put aaalll of them and go through unnecessary hard work and risk? Nice screenshot bytheway!

i like how your different partitions have icons,
i already have bootcamp on my macbook (win xp + leopard) and was wondering how you added the icons. =)

@Aly K.: Icons are included with the rEFIt bootloader, and shows up automagically whe you install it. Bootcamp uses its own bootloader, so it is no possible
