Booting Windows on a system capable of working under OSX?

This is as close to a definition of masochism as I could imagine...unless you're a gamer of course biggrin.gif

That is quite interesting...But...I see the video, but I'm really wondering how feasible that is...I didn't see the person boot into OS X, restart and then boot into XP (or vice versa)...

If this is really feasible, I'd love to know what special steps need to be made to make it happen. What can I say; it's the geek in me rolleyes.gif
