This defeat the purpose of getting a Macbook as I need a workhorse to be able to run multiple OS, and OSX is my preferred platform for my daily work.
Recently, I discovered Virtual Box from Sun Microsystem, an Open Source virtualization which I personally feel much better than VMWare and Parallels both in terms of performance and ease of use.
Not to mention it is free.
I have since tested installed Windows XP version 2002, works fine except isight and bluetooth built in is not functioning under Windows, as the drivers are buried inside the Apple Bootcamp app. I am yet to retrieve drivers from Bootcamp as yet.
Overall, I am very happy with VirtualBox, it gives me an opportunity to have multiple OSs on the same Macbook and run pretty well and fast too.
On Windows XP, it is faster than most Core 2 Duo desktop PCs.
If you are need to run another OS on your PC, VirtualBox should meet most of your requirement.
Google VirtualBox to download and install, try yourself, you will know what I mean.
