[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1005644, member: 51635"] When you use Boot Camp, all you are doing is dual booting. The Mac hardware platform is based closely on a typical PC, as in they use a lot of the same parts, just "tweaked" a little by Apple. XP64.. I have a hard time encouraging XP64 on a computer today. I don't know how thorough the hardware in the 27" iMac is on driver support. XP64 was always the red-headed stepchild Windows OS, a "proof of concept" more than any mainstream offering. If you really, really want XP64, be prepared to find all the drivers yourself. Being Windows on a native platform, how you act regarding antivirus and whatever else is exactly as if the shell of the machine said Dell or HP or Lenovo or whatever. [/QUOTE]
