Has anyone tried to see if the new MBP can boot into windoze? I am interested to see if a partition can bet set up for Windows. I'd like to be able to use CAD at home and options fro Mac are severly limited.

Windows XP will not boot. People have already tried. Vista might boot. I'll see what builds I have available at work when my MBP arrives.
