PC World has a little Q&A for people who would rush out and install Windows XP on their Intel Macs right out of the gate without knowing all there is to know about the process and everything, now that Apple has released BootCamp [ Apple :: BootCamp ] and opened the floodgates to all the Macintosh owners who would love to use Windows for some things and Mac OS for others, all the people who love Apple computers but don’t want to give up Windows, and for all those people who want both but can’t decide-that’s right, Apple is the only company that will give you a computer than can do it all, and do it all well!

But before you run out and repartition your hard drive or lay down the cash for an Intel Mac, you should know what you’re getting into. By no means are we saying don’t get your shiny new Intel iMac or Mac Mini, or that MacBook Pro that’s calling your name, but just go into it with both eyes open, and PC world has the answers to some pretty popular questions, like why Apple did this, what impact it’ll have on the future of Mac OS software, whether or not your Windows XP CD will work with BootCamp, and more!
