MacBook Pro running Windows XP

I installed Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro, got myself a legit copy of Windows XP Professional, and now I can finally have a single machine on the road for everything I need to do. Got Visual Studio 2005 on here and everything.

The biggest problem I had was installing the Apple-provided drivers. I left the network cable plugged into the machine, and when I installed the drivers, the network fired up and downloaded a bunch of system updates which then clobbered the Apple drivers. So every time I booted after that point, it would get to Mup.sys and then reboot. Sigh. In any case, it all seems to be working now.
