VMWare or Virtual PC, there's also the option on the intel chipsets to run BootCamp. | |

just acquire new copies from the local torrent store as you would anything else tbh, dual booting with xp is a waste of time in my opinion, I did it and never actually used it. | |

plenty of dodgy software out there for mac and freely available on torrents, rapidshare, newsgroups etc. Seems a bit pointless just to dual boot for that..... | |

If your mate can afford to buy a new MacBook then surely he can afford to buy the software to use on it? | |

Technically i am right as there are more Windows copies available but like you said, MAC copies are just as easy to get from the torrent sites. | |

I wouldnt know, it was just a guess - I have never ever searched or downloaded numerous torrents for Mac programmes in the last 4 or 5 years. | |

He could use bootcamp and install Windows XP on a 2nd Partition. | |
