Does anyone here have experience installing Windows with Boot Camp? I'm doing an installation for a friend this evening, and I would appreciate any tips or gotchas y'all might have experienced.
Thanks
Thanks

All of you Mac cultists are bastages (except thank you for your gentle touch, authentic (edit: and jrdbrn)).
Instead of your Apple-loving flames, you could have mentioned:
- That Mac can see the Windows files, but not vice versa.
- That Mac doesn't distinguish between important Windows boot/system files and everything else, so I could warn my novice client the same (who I talked into a Mac despite the fact that I've never really used one - take that).
- How to import libraries of speciific file types (music, images) from Windows world (on the MacBook) to Mac libraries (iPhoto and iTunes). Despite my technical skill, I still don't have an iPod (despite 1TB of music on a NAS in my home) Have y'all seen Rockbox - Open Source Jukebox Firmware ?
- To redo the partioning through bootcamp, you have to blow away the Windows installation so that OSX has the whole disk
- To use the latest version of boot camp, I need 10.5.2
- That a .mac account costs $99
Granted, it WAS easy. I had some boot problems with the Windows install disk, but after that it was gravy. I'm gonna get me one of those.
Love you guys.
Since when is boot camp a PITA? I've been using it with zero problems with multiple windows o/s since it was in beta. Care to explain any specific issues you have come across?
