windows on macbook pro

by yangman88 - 1/11/06 2:12 PM

does anyone know if you can install windows directly into the new apple notebook? And if you could, would the windows OS be slowed in any way? Will I be able to play the best games?

I think you can do this

I have heard that you are supposed to be able to do this. It should work I should think with little problem.

Do a little research but the issue will not be a problem for Vista due to a change.

You talk XP, I'll share what I found out so far.

We'll have to keep our ears open to when or if they figure it out.

Just asking, did you research this and learn about "EFI"?

I wouldn't trust my beautiful macbook pro hdd to windows!? Surely it's a better idea to install VMWare and run windows through a virtual machine. With the new Intel processor, there'd be little performance loss.
