Hi!
I just got the latest MacBook with 120 GB of space. Currently, there is only 76.66 free GB. I want to use either Windows XP or Windows Vista.
My question is which one would be more suitable in a dual-boot situation I'm little afraid that Vista might run too slowly.
Any advise?

If you are using dual boot then windows XP professional will be very good . Vista has confusinfg interface for dual boot . But the XP will support 100% your mac pc. It very useful for mixed combination

Yep! I agree... and I dont think Vista would work properly if you have Tiger on your comp but with Leopard it would work.

Hi ,
I just got a MacBook about a month ago. I have vista. i like it. and i have a problem with messengers. on my old laptop, i had Windows Live Messenger. I loved it. and now i can't get it anymore. i have tried amsn, Microsoft Messenger and Mercury Messenger. none of them are the same as Windows Live Messenger. there is a webcam built into the laptop. but its no use if i can't use it! i really want windows live messenger on this computer. does anyone know how?
