why would you want to run xp if you have osx?

 

[sneeks]

That's handy, I'll upgrade to that version now.

I use XP on my Mac for Newsgroup downloads as XP has better reader software available for it.

EDIT

All installed and working well. Thanks for the link.

how is it, is it sluggish?

Ive got a 1gb stick and think it would eat it ?

Thanks.

Not sluggish at all, runs quicker than my work XP machine

I'm only running 1gb ram for now but plan to upgrade to 2 or 3gb soon.

I have 1GB in my Macbook Pro and it's fine - remember the Coherence is Beta so will contain debug information etc.. seems good to me up to now tho!

As for why, lots of decent apps in Windows which I use - Visio, IE7 (for website testing and broken sites) etc.. quite useful!

That's awesome!

Would be f**king brilliant for people who make computer-based music as there are so many applications that you can only get for one system or the other.

Being able to use Windows-only virtual instruments inside Logic Pro would be the shizzle.

It'll end up great. At the moment, Windows still runs from a Virtual Disk.. It'll eventually integrate properly I'm sure!

havent installed the beta

only installed the 1970 upgrade but that does not have coe.......

Going to put vista when i get it through the actionpack.

This is going to be great so i will only need one version of the application i.e macromedia flash for windows or mac, wont need to f**k around.

Have not done bootcamp though.
