is this possible? my friend is buying an imac for his college studies due to a requirement for apple computers as the course will be conducted with an only apple-compatible program.

thus, he also wants to use windows for his own personal enjoyment, as he is more familar with the windows environment than the imac.

Or get a non Intel iMac and use Virtual PC to load up XP. It shouldnt be too long before the new version of Virtual PC comes out that will be Intel Mac compatible.

It's also legal to load XP on an Intel Mac so long as you own the license.
