Has anyone installed XP on there Macbook yet? Does run any better than on a PC? does it slow down the computer too much? Apple.com makes it sound fairly easy.

Running XP in a virtual machine under Fusion. My MacBook runs it like a champ, no slowdown at all. Amazing, really.

I use XP w/ Parallels. It has no negative effect on OS X at all. It has 512mb allocated to it, and runs as good as any PC would with 512mb of RAM.
