Is anyone here running Windows XP on the new Mac Pro?

I have questions:
If buy the Mac Pro two 3.0 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, should I buy the Windows XP 64 Pro for it or just Windows XP software?

What has been your experience using Boot Camp?

What software did you use or would recommend to move my software from my current PC to the new Windows XP64 Pro?

When Apple upgrades to Leopard in spring, is it easy to upgrade my OS without messing up my work?

Thanks,
- Jenny

I've got it on my Macbook Pro but it's been so long since I switched to Mac I honestly only use it for the occasional game now and then ;) But it plays those games just fine and I use Bootcamp. You could also try parallels if you don't want to reboot into a different OS

my XP is just the standard version. couldn't tell you what you would experience with other versions of XP (or Vista)

Hmmm, isn't this same topic posted in another sub-forum?
