[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 288751, member: 23228"] Boot Camp is free and easy to set up. It will do the partitioning for you. As James said, it is a true dual-boot solution. You can download it for free from here: [url=http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/]Boot Camp beta[/url] Parallels create a virtual machine on your OS X desktop. It is more limited than Boot Camp but has the benefit of simultaneously co-existing with your normal OS X applications, files, etc. It's fairly easy to set up. Parallels is a commercial product, you have to pay for it. [url=http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac]Parallels home page[/url] [i]edited to add:[/i] You will also need to have a copy of WinXP SP2 to make these work. Neither Boot Camp nor Parallels includes Windows itself; they simply provide ways to install and run WinXP on your computer. [/QUOTE]
