Windows 7 or XP when I setup bootcamp?

[Imac86]

Just bought a Mac, and need to know if its better to install XP or Windows 7 as a partition when running bootcamp. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'd go with Windows 7 if I were you. It's a major improvement over Vista and is a good OS for Windows. If you've never tried it then give it a try. Also, unless you have a 64 bit version of XP, you won't be able to utilize your ram.

There's nothing like using an 8 year-old OS with security holes like swiss cheese. Go with Windows 7.

Windows 7 x64. Don't look back...

You didn't say what apps are you planning to run or what you were planning to do with Windows.

7 is better, but if you are planing to run only older legacy apps stick with XP.

If you have both, install 7, or if you have neither, buy 7. If you have only XP, then simply install that.
