Macbook with XP?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey all I am planning on making a jump to a Macbook due to all the great reviews they get. On the other hand, I don't really wanna transition to OSX. I have heard and seen people with XP on their Macs and was wondering if it is tough to install on it. Do I need to modify/remove the OS or do I just do a regular install of XP like one would do on another laptop? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!!

Performing the install with Bootcamp looks like a piece of cake from their instructions:

Of course, please note: This is a BETA piece of software, it is not officially supported yet. There are a lot of people giving good feedback in the Apple forums but people are having issues in some cases.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing; my mind will be made up in a few weeks and then we'll see. I do miss Mac OSX very much, but need Winderz for some of my games.

The jist of it is this:
1. Use BootCamp to partition the hard drive
2. Install Windows on the second partition

PC World already has XP on their MacBook:
