Now that bootcamp is out, it might be nice to get a bootcamp forum or sub-forum. I think it would be nice to consolidate all the xp on mac related questions. Sure this is a mac forum, but many people will be dual booting for work or gaming.

The great thing about the bootcamp is like the mac, since we all have the same hardware (more or less) the problems and solutions should be very common and easily answered.

I agree -- I foresee many discussions and issues about running XP on Intel Macs, especially as the entire Apple product line gets swapped out to Intel.

Just kidding...but it is true that I somehow feel contaminated! Using a mac is not about the hardware...well, ok maybe a little..

I vote no, though I think the question is badly worded. The nature of BootCamp is such that it is a function of OSX and doesn't warrant its own forum - This should be discussed in the OSX forums or Mac Modification forum - it is still technically a beta.

1. Feedback goes in the Feedback forum.

2. This is already under discussion, which I did mention in one of the Boot Camp threads. We definitely will not create a forum called "Boot Camp" -- that's too narrow a forum -- but a proper solution is in the works.
