For years Apple explicitly stated there would be no video iPod. Many saw it coming, but the company denied it time and time again. In the end, the video iPod was released.

Today, Apple went back on its words again by introducing Boot Camp, public beta software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows XP. From the press release:

“Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple’s superior hardware now that we use Intel processors,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch.”

It will be interesting to see how long this promise lasts.
