Did you really think there would not already be an existing thread about this?

Why R U so excited about this? Seems like you don't REALLY want to use a Mac unless MS Windows works on it.

Damn, wasup w/ the hate and assumptions lol. I'm not even going to start w/ why I'm excited to have XP running on my MBP. Because honestly, OSx isn't perpect and neither is XP, but in a world where XP dominates 95% of the PC market, there are applications XP does a better job or can support better in. Takr ur Windows resentments elsewhere and not impose it on users who have needs for both OSs.

Heheheheh y'all think it's hard to find an MBP now, wait till the Windows users start buying them because they're built better than ANY WIntel laptops...
I'm very impressed with my 2.0MBP and I WILL be installing XP on it in the next week or so for work compatibility.

Remember, Apple is a Hardware company. This is a very good thing.
