| Shahab Jafri, the MacBook Pro has an Intel Core Duo (x86) Processor, Apple is in the transition stages to the x86 architecture. This is up in the air, some say it can run Windows XP and some say it can't. The problem is that Apple has used an EFI instead of the standard BIOS so it is somewhat up in the air whether it can run Windows XP much less Vista. |
