Dual boot your Intel Mac with Windows

Apple - Boot Camp

Personally I've only tried this with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine. Only problem I've run into is if the laptop goes into hibernate mode, it doesn't want to come back. I don't really use it very often, but it's nice to have for those just in case moments. I have heard of some people getting Vista to run on it, but haven't seen it in action.

I have had Vista, XP SP2, and Ubuntu Linux all working pretty much flawlessly. With the latest Driver set, you even get iSight support and two-finger scrolling if you are on a MacBook or MacBook Pro!

Yep. But you could run Virtual PC if you really had to.

Now way that is an extreme dog.

I will upgrade one of mine to an Intel soon but right now am out of funds due to my other vice (motorcycles)

Check the new version of Parallels. They call it coherence but it is more like running a rootless X server

Makes me want a new Intel laptop even more.
