Boot Camp: Notes from the front (and back) line

I've been using Boot Camp now for almost a week, and I apologize to those who have been waiting for my review since my original comment on the release last week.

A few key notes to begin with:

  • Installation is very smooth and simple.
  • Windows XP on an iMac works very nicely.
  • It is unfortunately not without its problems.

Installation is straightforward enough, even if, as on my iMac Intel Core Duo, there isn't a huge amount of free space available. I was easily able to assign the 5GB (which I upped to 10GB) to install Windows XP. Installation is as fast as you would expect, and I didn't experience any problems with the XP SP2 disc I was using as an installation source.
