Of course MacOS X is a great operating system but in the real world, you can need to run an application that is only available on Microsoft Windows. And with Intel-based Macs, you can now install and natively run Windows XP thanks to Apple Boot Camp.

It worked well for me following the Boot Camp Manual except one problem:

I performed the installation with the USB Mighty Mouse connected and it locked the keyboard preventing to resume Windows XP SP2 installation at some point.

So, don’t use an external mouse when installing Windows ! 

I have no complaints to formulate against any computer hardware or software companies and developpers groups.
This blog only reflects my quest for tools that matches my requirements and is by no mean meant to encourage or discourage anybody towards a specific computer platform.

Diversity is the key to freedom. 

Welcome to MacAdam, the genesis and roadmap of my Mac experience !

I used to be a PC geek for about 20 years now, though I did use all kind of computers, since my good old Sinclair Spectrum to high end workstations and servers from Digital, Sun, SGI or HP with some incursions to the Apple world of Macintosh.

After a failed attempt to use GNU/Linux as my sole OS for my laptop PC, I acquired the Intel-based MacBook Pro and here I share my comments.
