I'd like to get a mac mini for a work terminal which needs to run windows. In order for the mac haters to sign off on it, it needs to boot straight into XP, without having to choose XP from a menu.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Just use the Startup Disk panel (in either OS X or Windows) to choose the Windows partition as the default.

In fact, it seems to do that by default. I was quite annoyed by it until I figured out how to change the default.
