As I said, this depends on his application choice, & I wonder where he is?
anyway... sound editing, multimedia, (Compositing, rendering) requires stable drivers, & I don't think U can deny that fact Andy or gnurag, now tell me, if u install Windows XP SP2 on a Macbook, where are u going to get official stable drivers for that platform..
or can u plz refer to some article saying that I can render in Macbook Pro with XP SP2 installed with a firmware hack, still not loose on performance & stability... & not to forgot endless other compatibility problems, the firmware hack for installing XP SP2 on Intel Macs is quite fancy, but in no since productive or efficient
& about me getting a life, get over it, I don't think that U should be so much concerned with my life being this way...........hey, u just own a Mac, not a human
