Finally got the need to install XP on my MBP. I have installed all the drivers from the Bootcamp CD, now I really miss 2 finger tapping, or, well, any tapping on the trackpad at all!!! How do I enable it?

There should be a Boot Camp icon in the bottom right-hand corner near the clock (it's a blackish-grey square/diamond). Clicking it should open up Boot Camp preferences, and there should be a trackpad tab :)

Depending on how old your Mac is, you wont be able to enable tap to click in Windows (any version).
Apple's Windows Drivers are quite poor.

It's the same with my early '06 MacBook. You get used to it after a while.

I managed to get tap-to-click working on my early 2008 MBP (non-unibody). I don't think it'll work on models earlier than that since the Rev. E MBPs were the first ones to have multi-touch trackpads. Basically, you need to manually install a set of newer trackpad drivers+newer Boot Camp control panel than what's provided on your Leopard DVD.
Two-finger tapping (right-click) isn't supported, though.

Huge understatement - they're not just poorly written but they're also poorly supported. I'm having to manually install newer Apple/nV/Marvell/whatever drivers from newer versions of Boot Camp (via BitTorrent) or elsewhere on the internet since they aren't even available on apple.com.
