Ok .. i dont mean to mislead you .. so first off .. I havent tried nor looked at bootcamp work .. But y would you want to install XP on a mac system ? I mean .. WHY ! for the love of god ! lol .. i just got carried away there  .. but seriously .. do u really wana infect ur system with bugs and stuff from windows ? I mean all those viruses comming in through windows .. u know .. Damn .. did i scare you ? .. lol .. newayz .. point is .. if you want to test windows on your mac .. its a cool thing to do .. i would have done it .. but if your gona use it for a prolonged period of time .. then dont .. its just the Mac thing .. use the system for what its originally made for. I would freak out if i see someone using a powerbook with windows XP installed lol .. Happy testing .. ohh and if you get tru installing Linux .. please let us know ..  Regards Dhanesh.

I am using both mac and windows machines right now and I would like to consolidate them. I am a realtor and my local MLS only supports IE6. IE 5.x for mac sucks so I have to use my windows machine for work and my mac for play:)

Yeah I was Intrigued to hear about this program! Supposdedly it allows you to install windows Xp on a mac computer. I know this may seem cool at first but it has to be some kind of drawback, i mean suppose a virus infected the windows half of the computer then would it also affect the mac half. And now Mac is coming out with a new version called Leopard and i wonder if this will also work with this version. And in about 5 months a new version of windows will also be coming out. These New versions have beeeen long awaited and i would not recommend installing this bootcamp because there are alot of risks and unknown variables that are invovled. besides its like dhanesh said, "Why would you want to Mess up your MAC?!!?"
