I purchased a copy of WindowsXP SP2 on Amazon for less than $100. I loaded it on a standard Macbook using Bootcamp with a 10G Windows partition. Bootcamp guides you through the installation and partitioning without any problem at all. The installation was a snap. I bought a WD external Firewire drive specifically for use on this machine and created a Mac OS non-journaled 250G partition and a FAT32 partition so that I can use the same media drive to edit with either Vegas or Final Cut. Loading Vegas was, again, no problem and it runs quite quickly on the Macbook. The hardest thing has been getting used to the Vegas interface. I am constantly finding myself wondering why the Sony programmers made some of the decisions they did. On the plus side for Vegas, the transitions and chromakey features are quite good. Hope this helps, Dave www.HowToVideoPRO.com Hi Glen,
