Heading off to Boot Camp

Curious about Boot Camp? We were. Ars spent some time using Windows XP and trying a couple of other operating systems on Intel Macs (including Windows Media Center Edition), and we're here to tell you what we've learned in the process.

The various hardware differences make what would hopefully be an uneventful experience a little quirkier on some machines (especially the MacBook Pro), but overall, WindowsXP is mostly how one would expect it to be. Most Mac users who are now dual-booting their Macintel machines don't intend on "switching" over (or back) to Windows, but have installed it because they want to play their favorite games or due to work demands.

Everything you wanted to know about installing Windows and running it on a Mac is right here.
