No, it costs nothing for Boot Camp. It's basically LILO. You have experience with OS X currently or are you working off old knowledge or things you've gleaned off the net? Boot Camp is a pretty simple thing, something that's specifically highlighted by any Apple store, Apple commercial or any Apple news site (even the WSJ when they did articles on Apple products as far back as a couple years ago).
K. I keep seeing references to it but the only description has been "with boot camp you can run winblows programs" so I couldn't tell if it was Apple's version of WINE or what. You're telling me it is dual booting and costs nothing, so that means Stevie has quite gone compleatly Gatesian
My knowledge was direct but is a couple years old. Boot camp wasn't around when I was playing with OSX, but I can't afford Mac (at least the non-RISC Mac) so I gave up before they had all the bugs worked out of the UI...
