[QUOTE="jonnyd, post: 405860, member: 31029"] 1. Seems pretty good. It runs Windows just fine. So far I haven't found anything it won't do, but I believe there are a few issues. The alternative is Parallels, which runs in OSX, rather than bootcamp which allows you to boot Windows. Parallels has a few issues too, but there's a new version about to launch which adresses many of them. [URL="http://www.parallels.com"] Click for info[/URL] Bootcamp as it is now will only install with XP sp2 (or Vista, I think). If you have SP1, it simply won't work, I have tried it. There is a solution, which I posted about [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=391260#post391260"] in this thread.[/URL] See the second half of the post for a quick how-to. I don't think you can just copy your current hard disk over, you'll have to do a fresh install of Windows. You can then network the two machines and grab your files. I'll let other posters correct bum info / answer other questions. [/QUOTE]
