Windows XP on MacBook Pro with Boot Camp
On a fairly quiet Friday afternoon, I took a little time out. I rummaged around and found an XP disc and serial and installed it on my work laptop with Boot Camp.
The installation went very smoothly:
- Download Boot Camp
- Run assistant
- Burn Apple drivers CD
- Partition hard drive
- Restart and go through usual Windows install
- Install Apple drivers
No problem with the display, nuthin. It even recognises the iSight camera. I’ve had a harder time setting up “normal” PCs… Sony I’m looking at you.
So the Mac Vs. Windows debate is Officially Over. For me at least. PC peeps, I’m having my apple flavoured cake and eating yours too.
Now I have it though, what do I do? I installed it for three work reasons: browser testing, Sage Job Costing and Zinc. Obviously Half Life 2 is as-good-as-bought, but what else? Anyone?
