vmware method is great, the one where you "repair" the tiger vmware image to a secondary darwinx86 formatted partition/hd is what i used

at startup, there is a delay of 10 seconds to input boot parameters "hit any key"

use for top speed the following... "platform=x86pc" no quotes

then go tweak crazy ;)

dualboot, become owner, graphical tweaks, delete "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleTPMACPI.kext" (important) etc.

in a nutshell osX is much peppier than xp on my machine, even without hardware acceleration of video. yikes.

in a nutshell, i will not update my xp machine to Service Pack 2, and have begun using this windows update alternative to download hotfixes and updates instead.

hxxp://windowsupdate.62nds.com/

downloads hotfixes and goodies to C:\WUTemp.

perfect for slipstreaming. with nlite of course. :)


couldn't make up my mind where to put this, Software in the Wild or not.
