Win XP, Mac OSX dual boot?

[Edifice]

What software is available for a dual boot of Windows XP or Mac OSX?

Which software will do a nice synchronization of the two?

I would like to have the option of running either OS when I boot up.

I'm picking up a Mac Pro tower tomorrow and from what little I know there is Boot Camp and parallels for OSX.

I will be somewhat lost as I make the switch to Apple but I have done my research and I don;t think the learning curve will be that steep.

As for PC systems..can't help you there. I have not heard of a way to run OSX on a pc yet.

Others may chime in with more info.

if you want to run OS X on a non apple PC you will need to get the OSx86 version. get the software from a torrent.

Interesting.
Since Mac software is expensive, does that mean it is just as easy to get other Mac software off torrent sites or newsgroups?
It is quite easy to find software for MS and PCs on torrent sites.

Was told at the Mac store that Boot Camp comes with a Mac but Parallels software is available for sale and will cost you $80.

Welcome newyorkboy,
Yes that's how you do it.

So you did the same thing in another forum.
