[BNM] Going Mac

[Joe Aliferis]

I tested Parallels and it crashed and was slow (dual-core macbook / 1GB Ram)

I went to VMware - lovely !

Advice:

Install bootcamp - create NTFS partition - install XP Pro into that

Then install VMware and set it to use bootcamp partition instead of 
virtual HD (file on your Mac)

This way you can boot VMware WinXP in the Mac OS and have option to 
reboot Mac into Bootcamp and run XP with full resources of the hardware 
(no Mac OS running)

This is a super fast version of XP
