Hey everyone,
Just incase you haven't seen some one got windows xp booted on an intel mac.

I wonder if they had any driver issues once they got it booted..

edscoble:
brilliant news, usually work if you have the 64bits version of XP which support EFI.

thought the bad point is there's no graphic card driver for it.

I can't wait for Vista.

est:
No versions of WinXP or Vista work with the version of EFI that the Macs are running, hence the competition.  This guy had to write his own bootloader and modify some stuff to get WinXP working/booting with EFI.

Why? Why would you want to do such a terrible thing?

an irony since EFI was developed by both Intel and Microsoft isn't it?
