[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1056118, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. This is a great place with a great group of people. Don't be afraid to ask... Get used to your new MBP first before you start thinking about installing Windows. Once you get the feel of your new machine, you'll have a better idea of its capabilities. Your new MBP comes with the Boot Camp Assistant Utility pre-installed. Please read the Boot Camp documentation thoroughly (you can print it out) before doing anything. And yes, you will need a licensed copy of Windows to use. You can use either XP SP2, Vista, or Win 7. You might also consider running Windows from a virtual machine instead of using the Boot Camp utility. The very nice Sun Micro Systems VirtualBox is a free VM application that can be used. You will still need a licensed copy of Windows. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Regards. [/QUOTE]
