As elegant as it gets Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.(1) Boot Camp will burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don't have to scrounge around the Internet looking for them. System Manager Optional alt. At startup, hold down the option key (alt) to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. Run XP natively Once you've completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That's the "alt" key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac. What you'll need List of 7 items . Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.6 (check Software Update) .

But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries. Word to the Wise Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC.
