Hi Will,
Not to rain on the parade, but some caveats: I saw some rumors about
it working on the MacBook Pro, but the How To seems to mention only
the iMac. I also saw a mention somewhere that not all iMacs are
supported. Instructions also suggest that a PC is needed to get
things ready for the installation. Keep in mind there are going to be
some pretty significant driver issues, etc...not to mention the
possibility that this third party solution could break when Apple
releases new machines. I wonder if there are any Apple Warranty
implications. Interesting possibility though.

Hiya,
just encase any one hasn't come across this yet, its now possible
to duel
boot Mac OS X and windows xp Legally on all the new Intel Macs.
The website
for it is www.onmac.net
It allows XP to run natively with out emulation. It isn't perfect
yet with
some drivers needing to be found and patched. After installation and
configuration you can choose on boot which operating system to
use. I love
this idea as it gives the VI user the best of both worlds. When a
task
can't be performed with VO you have the chance to restart and use
JFW Window
Eyes or Hal.
I'm planning on ordering a Mac Book Pro and I'll report on my
results. This
XP on a Mac thing is very very new and has only been around for a
couple of
days so will hopefully improve over time.
HTH
