BOOTCAMP FOR MAC OS X 10.6 INSTALL
For some reason, however, when I install the precompiled service, while its name is "Count characters in selection," it displays in the Services menu as "Compteur de signes," which is French for character counter.

This has been tested successfully on Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7. You can download a precompiled service here. To use the service, select any text in a text application (this does not work in Word, however), then choose your service in the contextual menu. On run default button 1 with icon stop end try return inputend run Now save the service and use a name such as "Count characters in selection." Even normal files need rendering every time your Mac launches, so there's no need to leave them there. Reduce the files on your desktop, especially movies as these seem to eat into CPU even though you are not using them. I can only assume it was QuickLook rendering the movie. I narrowed it down eventually to an MKV file I had. Doing so reduced the CPU to nothing until I opened the folder containing the documents. I decided to take everything off my Desktop and enclose it in a folder. I checked Activity Monitor and found out the Finder was eating into my CPU, from 40% to over 100%. I was working on my iMac recently when I noticed the hard disk was working overtime. I know the site has been pretty slow, and your continued help by submitting your hints and ideas is always very welcome. Note to all: I'm back again for a while, and my hope is to try to post something every day. Never been a huge Boot Camp user (preferring virtualization) but I see where this could come in handy. [ crarko adds: As someone with a lot of older hardware still around, I appreciate ideas like this. P.S.- Right now, this Mini is acting as a HTPC in my living room with a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad, and a Windows MediaCenter remote and ATSC tuner. It's also nice not to have to restart into Windows 8 on my main Mac. It's even better when that Windows PC is a Mac. Sometimes, it's really convenient to have a Windows PC close by, even if it is not needed every day. I have replaced this Mac Mini with a much more capable iMac, but I like that the old computer can still serve a purpose. I've read that new Windows 8 disks have a specialized MBR that doesn't work with older Macs, and EFI boot was added to Macs built much later. I'm not sure if this is much of a tip, but the Windows 8 install disk freezes on a CD-ROM selection screen and I haven't seen these tips anywhere else online. All of the hardware functions however, I have not installed the Boot Camp shortcuts for startup disk selection, or for the onscreen display of volume and brightness controls.

Boot Camp 4 drivers work well for the 32-bit Windows 8.1, but I installed each one individually instead of using the BootCamp package installer.

I can confirm that if you use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 32-bit (no key needed) on a Core Duo Mac Mini, you can upgrade to Windows 8 32-bit from within Windows 7, and then do the same for Windows 8.1 (provided you have a license key for the final OS). The older Core Duo Mac series cannot boot into 64-bit operating systems, and is excluded from modern versions of OS X, but Microsoft still supports 32-bit processors, giving many old Macs the opportunity to be re-purposed with a modern OS.

However, these machines are well within the Microsoft system requirements for Windows 8.1 and installs are possible.

These restraints keep older machines from the benefits of current mac features, applications, and supported installs of Windows 8.

Computers like the Intel "Mac Mini 2,1" were left behind with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) and Boot Camp 4.
