Bootcamp Question
-
I heard that it's possible to install Windows in a macbook pro using boot camp. Actually is it really like installing Linux and Windows Together in a PC and loads wtih LILO or GRUB?

Well its a mac and the boot camp is written by apple, i dont see why you'd ever want to install it using a different bootloader if the original manufacturer has released a supported bootloader for you??
Actually I dont want to use anything else. I'm mostly do my work in Windows especially programming and playing games. So I was asking if I installs Windows Vista or XP in a MacBook Pro, will it work as a native installation or not. I dont know more about boot camp. :D

MacBook Pro uses Intel EFI, and most PCs use the old BIOS; so the BootCamp has to provide the BIOS emulation during Windows startup, after than, the BIOS is not used, and works just like a PC would. Also the latest Bootcamp version contains all Vista drivers, so the process is smooth, and everything is very simple.
