Boot Camp

Holy snikies, I guess I should be glad I didn’t bother with the EFI boot loader hackery needed for the third party Mac/WinXP dual boot solution…

Update: Typing this on my iMac running Windows XP.  I have to say Apple made Boot Camp so painless it’s a guilty pleasure to install and boot Windows XP.

I installed WinXP onto a FAT32 partition so I could exchange files across the two OS’es without MacDisk for Windows, which I hear is a great tool, but regardless I’d like to avoid additional costs. I just hope the decision to skip NTFS doesn’t come back and bite me in the proverbial rear-section.

The first things I did, upon reaching the WinXP desktop and disabling the godawful XP blue and green theme, were installing QuickTime, iTunes, and Firefox…

The Apple-provided drivers are working really well, no issues with installation whatsoever.
