thanks for that
that wasnt very nice of them
so is there a way of installing it on a tiger machine, if i use the installation file that someone else used a few months back?

bootcamp was always a beta release pre-leopard. As far as i'm aware it is date sensitive so even an install image from a while back wont let you run it.

Serious? I was hoping to fix that glitch where it doesn't boot up in XP every time - you know, it hangs, or the keyboard doesn't work.

So, basically, if I want Bootcamp to work, I have to buy Leopard? No way around it?

No, if you want to use the Bootcamp Utility then you have to buy Leopard. Nothing is stopping you from reinstalling WinXP and using the original, unsupported Bootcamp drivers without touching the Bootcamp Utility.

For XP, I used to buy from studentoptions.com but they're only selling Vista now. I would say that Ebay is your best bet to get XP for less than 100 euro.

Rolling back the date to 31st December 2007 works, but it won't be supported by Apple.

You can pick up OEM copies of XP cheaply on eBay, I think Amazon had a few a while back too.
