How is it SP2 bonded? I would think the only reason Apple is requiring SP2 is because all Intel Macs use SATA, which was not supported until SP2.

According what I've read around the internet it will give an error when popping in anything but a Windows XP SP2 disc.

Don't try logging into a Windows Domain with your uber-1337 Mac Book Pro.

In order to enter secure domain login mode you have to press Ctrl + Alt + Del simultaneously. The Mac Book Pro doesn't have a delete key.

Long live the Apple Pro Keyboard huh? ;)

Uh, where did you hear that?

Windows (SP0, SP1, SP2) supports ATA controllers. I doesn't matter if they're IDE or SATA.

You must close all folder/ files and Windows before.

Really? I did a first aid verification and it said:

"Verifying volume “Hard Drive”

Checking HFS Plus volume.

Checking Extents Overflow file.

Checking Catalog file.

Illegal name

Checking multi-linked files.

Checking Catalog hierarchy.

Checking Extended Attributes file.

Checking volume bitmap.

Checking volume information.

The volume Hard Drive needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

1 HFS volume checked

Volume needs repair

The repair disk icon is greyed out...

Dead wrong.

First off, there IS a Delete key.

Second, there's a Control key.

Third, there's an Option key with "alt" written above it.

Worked perfectly for me. I logged into my domain just fine.

Hmmm, I'm not able to issue the three finger salute. Task Manager isn't coming up when I do it.

Also, neither is the brightness or the volume controls :s

But on the upside, this thing's fast as ######.

You obviously haven't used an Apple laptop ever:

The only downside to all this is that it's Windows XP SP2 bonded. You can't install any other Windows system, so that's something they might want to work on. Especially with Windows Vista's release somewhere this century.

Completely untrue.

Having just booted a Linux cd I can confirm it works ;)

In fact once you've installed the firmware update, you simply have a pc with efi & bios support. I have my iMac with Windows XP as the only OS right now, I didnt even start the Boot Camp application...
