Gary (or anyone else)
Has anyone experience of running
Bootcamp >>>
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
or Virtual PC on a mac (mini spec c. 1.7GHz) >>

I'm interested in following order:
1. Stability of Win XP applications in use on mac
2. "Faithfullness" to read and write Windows media especially burining CDs
3. Printer support especially printing postscript or graphics documents
4. Ease of installation of Win XP applications onto Mac
5. Ease of use of "special" keys e.g. CTL and functon keys using Mac keyboard
6. Performance of Windows applications in use
7. Speed of loading windows or applications (cursory reading suggests Bootcamp is a dual boot facility)
8. Is it possible to write files to a shared partition to share in either mac or windows xp mode?
Thanks
Clive
