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.

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 Extents Overflow file.

Checking Catalog file.

Illegal name

Checking multi-linked files.

Checking Catalog hierarchy.

The volume Hard Drive needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

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:

Top right, under the eject button: "Delete"

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...

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
