XP on the Macbook
Downloaded and installed Boot Camp for the mac. Burnt a cd of xp drivers for the mac and created a 15 gig partition. Installed xp w sp/2 and it works quite well. Haven't installed vmware workstation yet but it should work fine which means i can be running linux on windows on a mac...
My small labtec usb travel mouse was a bit jumpy so need to find another one. Could not get msn to work with isight but then i don't like messenger anyway.
There is only 512mb of ram, which causes problems on the OSX side as the emulation layer takes a ton of memory - the machine lags and you can outtype it in some programs. once i upgrade to 1 or 2 gig will be interesting to compare the xp and osx speeds. Right now XP has a huge advantage as it does not have the emulation overhead.
