Hey guys,

I just bought a new Apple MacBook and I have heard that Windows XP can run on the new MacBook as long as the processor is an Intel-based. I have read a few articles and done a few search here and there about Windows on the new MacBook. Has anyone loaded a working version of Windows XP on the MacBook?

One of the programs I am looking at is a beta version from Apple called BootCamp. Supposedly, you can install that program and load Windows XP on the MacBook.

If anyone knows how to run dual OS on the new MacBook, can you please tell me what you guys did?

Thanks

Yea, I've done it. Bootcamp is what you need. The entire ordeal is extremely easy.

just use Bootcamp, and follow Apple's instructions. Its an apple supported/created/maintained program, its idiotproof

If you want to be able to use ctrl-alt-delete your gonna need a keyboard mapper. The link is below along with a mouse utility that allows you to right click when hitting ctrl-click. The only other way to right click without this utility is to plug in an external mouse.
