[QUOTE="bryank89, post: 405804, member: 32037"] I'll soon be looking to purchase a laptop for college but prior to doing so I need a few questions answered. According to my understanding BootCamp is still beta and a final release is not expected until OSX Leopard is released later this year (October). This brings up a few questions. 1. How effective is BootCamp in its current release? 2. Are many changes expected between now and the initial final release? 3. If I purchase a mac laptop now with Tiger how much should I expect to fork over for Leopard down the road? Also, in using BootCamp I've read that it will only work with XP SP2 releases. I own a copy of XP SP1 and since my purchased have updated the OS accordingly to SP2. Is there a safe and easy way to essentially copy my current hard drive to a partition on a future MacBook or MacBook Pro hard drive such that I have the option to boot to OSX or my current Windows desktop? I hope thats not too hard to follow. If anyone needs clarification I'll do my best provide it. Thanks, Bryan [/QUOTE]
