    Glad to see the latest version especially after being recently disappointed reading in various articles that Leopard might be delayed several months, one of the main reasons I got the Imac24 was to have the facility to dual boot OS-X/XP Sp2
    There seemed to be so many people having problems installing XP, waiting for late spring seemed to be the only option.
    Having read about the latest release with great interest I decided to search the apple forums again and see if people tried XP with version 1.2

    The comments I read were negative most having problems but I noticed they had not updated to 10.4.9 so I decided to try and it worked perfectly, I used NTFS to partition C: to the default 32g, Mac Window drivers installed with no problems and I did the usual windows security updates (47mb) and installed AVG antivirus and Antispyware
    iSight and Bluetooth both work, now where did I put that bloody remote

    I tried bootcamp for a while, it was grand but parallels is 100 times better and well worth the money.

    Now when i tried parallels first i found that my windows copy was reg. in bootcamp, so i rang microsoft and told them i wanted to run my windows copy in parallels and the man helped me. I don't know if my bootcamp windows still works cause i never go to it now. I will delete my bootcamp some day.
