Hi

First of all, great news, and great work guys! :) I've been wanting to get an MBP - but only when I know that I can use it for XP because I need XP and would then give OSX a try for some things.

I have a question about the usability of dual boot:

- Will it be / is it possible to access the files on OS X from within XP and vice versa?


Regards,
J

With MacDrive 6, you can access all of your HFS+ (OSX) partitions and all of the files.

In OSX, you can see the WinXP partition though it is read only.

Perfect, but I guess no direct access e.g. with an old trusty Windows Commander to your OS X partition? :)

Macdrive 6 - (for those who like me did not know it - http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/ ) looks like an invaluable tool when doing XP on the Mac.
