Booting Windows XP On MacBook Pro - A Theory: "Rox writes 'According to this page it looks like someone has finally gotten WinXP to boot on an Intel Mac — in this case, a MacBook Pro. It takes a lot, including Acronis, a fresh install of XP, a Windows Vista DVD, and hacking the Darwin boot loader, but apparently it works. It's far and away from the simple dual-booting we can look forward to with Vista, but it lays the groundwork for now. There's also a hardware hacking method, though it remains untested. So I guess that prize money will no longer be up for grabs.'


[Update]
by Trollaxor: I updated the title to reflect the fact that the instructions are only theoretical and that the writer does not own a MacBook Pro."
