XP won't run on Intel Macbook, iMac

[Lazn_Work]

Calm down people! Jeez!

First of all:

I overheard on Applenova that EFi for x86 computers includes a compatibility mode for old operating systems. You can probably find some details about this here: http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/

Secondly:

(also overheard on Applenova) Gateway released a system with EFi on it in 2003 and it ran XP just fine. Quote from the thread over there:

Thirdly:

If the above two methods fail there is probably some way to write a boot/OS loader that can make all of these problems go away and fool XP into thinking a BIOS is present.

So RELAX


Edit: if there are any admins present, you should probably change the overly authoritative title of this thread.. it's a bit absurd to be claiming that windows won't run on these systems, given the evidence from the past, intel .. but also.. given the lack of evidence since nobody actually has a MacBook yet.
