installing it via bootcamp is pretty easy since it is installed already in the system (bootcamp) so, its an easy installing really. I use bootcamp for gaming like nba2k11, WoW. I also have windows parallel installed (virtual machine for windows) which lets me run windows and mac at the same time, consumes lot of resources. my windows parallel are for my programming tools like MPLab, Xilinx, Proteus that are not available in mac(I am just assuming).

what os did you use?
and how much ang authentic windows os?

[angel0lz]

i only have the cracked version of windows 7 ultimate. you can download it via torrent. but if you want authentic windows os i think windows7 ultimate cost around 10k(based from my friend, she bought one the home premium version for 4k)

it runs smooth. it really depends on your preference, if for gaming you go with bootcamp otherwise windows parallel.

windows parallel is priced at 5000+ in apple store ayala..
better bootcamp, costs a little less
but still pricey tsk tsk

thanks angelOlz

boot camp is free for osx leopard, snow leopard, and lion. ^_^V
you can search for it using the spotlight search on the upper right of your desktop
it's a pretty straight forward process, there'll be instructions on how to do it each step of the way
just be careful not to install the windows os on the partition for your mac, other than, it should be really easy. ^_^ after you've installed ur windows os, be sure to pop in your mac os disc that came with
your mac to be able to install the drivers needed for windows.
