hi dear macrumors forum!
a few weeks ago i ordered my MBP! now i'm a totally new mac user. i'm very proud of that, but "unfortunately" most fun-games run only on windows, so i have to install WIN XP now.

frist question is: when i install windows XP, how much space do i assign to my new partition?
when i then install games, do i install them on the mac-HDD? or am i forced to make my windows partition big enough for every game i want to install?

second, interesting question is: my friend also turned to apple (after his long and stony journey with vista) and he wants to install XP too, but he is going to download XP, which might not be legal. do maybe "not-so-legal" versions work with bootcamp? can he install it too? no way he's gonna spend money on a windows OS anymore! ;)

greetings from germany :):apple:
