[BNM] the horror - wanted, windoze laptop

[Joe Aliferis]

use Apples 'Bootcamp'

Its not VMware - its a separate partition on your HD, FAT (or NTFS) 
formatted, with XP installed

Bootcamp provides the setup environment and the translation drivers for 
the mac hardware

Its like 2 computers inside one

I have VMware installed too, in the MacOS - but have it configured to 
use the Bootcamp partition

Requires an Intel mac tho
