yo. this is ridiculous. with boot camp, ok, you can install xp BUT -

1. it must be a brand new copy (not an OEM copy that comes with a Dell PC or anything
2. It cannot be an "upgrade" version, it must be a full version.
3. The Windows CD must have XP SP2 on it
4. This will not work with Windows 2000

Waaaaaaaait - so you mean I have to spend a LOT of money just on a stupid copy of Windows XP ... why?

haha. you sure about that 2nd one? it probably depends mostly on your cd-key.

my dad got this going on his Macbook Pro. he made a custom XP cd by slipstreaming SP2 onto it. it's SWEET. so fast.

and so weird
