you guys should square off with the LUG in a rich-vs-poor geek showdown.

you mean really gay versus gay showdown

That's an unfair appraisal on both counts.

Wish I could afford one of the new dual-boot systems ... saw somebody demo how it worked and it looked nice.

I'm going to try to setup bootcamp on the demo apples we'll have in the bookstore. Anyone know the cheapest place to get a legitimate full version copy of windows XP? It has to be legitimate because our managers won't let me install pirated shit. Sadly, we get no discounts on FULL installs of MS operating systems and the bookstore only has a windows 2000 site license for our machines.

^ask anybody in comp sci

I don't beleive we can use those. Our managers don't want us violating the specific EULA and I think those copies are only to be used by students for their machines. This machine is technically a machine for resale.

Just use Windows 2000, then. It gets the point across.

Are there any tricks to getting it to work with windows 2000? The bootcamp website specifically says only windows xp home or pro.

4/20/2006 1:27:54 PM

Oh, oops. I got it confused with Parallels Workstation Virtualization. That is, I forgot Boot Camp was limited to XP. If it can be made to work with 2000, some internet nerd will figure it out.
