Yes, it would be weird, but pretty cool
This weekend I’ll be finding out if I can boot a Powerbook off a USB flash drive with a bootable FAT32 primary partition that’s an Ubuntu live CD running VirtualBox with a Windows XP disk image. The end result of that would be running Windows on a Mac, but I have no idea if that will work. I don’t even know what the hard/impossible step(s) might be. Something something x86 instruction set something something hardware abstraction layer something something I have no idea what I’m talking about something something laser beams.

At least the one Mac I tried won’t boot off a FAT32 partition. So I can’t use the same flash drive as I do with a PC. I can try with a bootable HFS+-or-whatever partition.
