Well,
Before you read, I have a macbook, and I’m also getting a macbookpro soon. I guess there are alot of reasons why to put xp on a mac. I’m not going to be getting rid of my Leopard, just run xp inside it. The major reason is my School. Down here where I live, people are too acustomed to Windows. Some have even already gone to vista. I even myself had tried vista on another laptop (hp pavilion dv6000). At that time, I realized that windows has been going down hill. So for myself, I bought a mac. But back onto the point, My school is using xp and soon switching to vista. Although I am switching schools and they will still be puting xp on their’s, I decided to put xp on mine. #2 reason why is I need a couple of programs in XP. I know this sounds crazy but I like some programs still. For example, I think imovie is too basic of a Movie editor, and Final Cut is too extreme. I already had Pinnicle Studio for it so Why not just use it. #3 is just wanting to see what comes out. Although I will not be puting Vista on my mac, I want to see how the newer Windows OS is in 2009. #4- Better things in XP than Leopard, In overall, Leopard is a better Operating System. It’s more user friendly, better software for free, etc… but in little things that I like, XP is somewhat better. Not that I can’t do it in leopard because I know I probably can, but I already know how to use it in XP. I will be learning how to do this stuff later though. And finally, #5 is that I am a multi-os person. I cannot deal with just 1 OS. I don’t know how anyone can. I had been running Ubuntu in my old HP and i liked dual running it with xp. So, even though I probably won’t be putting linux in my mac, I like 2 or more Operating Systems Running. It may slow down my computer, but that’s What Buying RAM is for.
