Okay, I have a few questions about the whole bootcamp deal. Do I need a "licensed" windows disc? My father has a few burned copies that he procured from unknown whereabouts (*cough*), would those work? Also, in regards to battery life, just how many hours/minutes do I stand to lose by using XP instead of OSX? Also, any known errors that occur in XP with the new Alu macbook? Thanks for your time.
Got a tip for us?

You know you can buy a legit OEM copy from a place like New Egg or Fry's Electronics for only $100 or so. Only thing with OEM is no support from Microsoft, but you save $250... And you need a full copy. Since it's a new install on that computer you do it legit and no future problems. You can buy Vista Ultimate for only $25 more or so.
Just letting you know it's not an outrageous price or anything to go ahead and do the right thing.
