I'm thinking of getting a MB/MBP mainly because of bootcamp and the slick cool design  My question is, how does bootcamp works? As far as I know there will be one harddisk. Do i have to partition it for windows to work? Another thing, can I access OSX's files and folders from XP and vise versa? Example : I saved a word document on OSX's desktop. Can I access it thru XP's desktop?

Thanks for answering that question. Another thing, I heard that the MBP comes bundled with a mouse. I also heard that the mouse has ony one button. How is that going to work with Windows which requires two buttons?
Also, has anyone tried out the Remote for MBP yet? How good is it? Do you even use it often?
Edit in regard to the post below : Fine then~ how bout MBP?

Okay we need to use a button on the keyboard to right click... I'm suprised a company such as Apple thought of such stupid thing.... =.= If it was me, I usually do most stuff with one hand using the mouse. Removing the extra button really takes away an essential. Who would want to use both hands all the time? I cant drink and manuever the mouse issueing commands that require both the buttons without having my other hand for other actions (eg. reading, eating, drinking~ etc)
About the MB having the remote.... i dont remember seeing it in the list of included preperials.
And since I'm asking, anyone tested the remote with a MB/MBP while on windows?

Thanks for your answers regarding the "right clicking" issue. No one has yet to answer regarding the use of the remote with windows. Anyone can clarify this?

Okay~ yet ANOTHER question~ If i were to buy a MB black, can i upgrade the RAM from the store itself? Or is it possible for me to upgrade it on my own? How about the graphics card?
Also, just to make sure, will there be any complications if i use a normal windows mouse with MB running OSX or XP?

So basically I'm stuck with the sucky intel 950 GMA.... is it possible to change that to a dedicated graphics card?
Also this just came to mind. Let's say there are two remotes. Wont they interfere?
Edit : Does MSN messenger work with OSX? Or do i have to install a 3rd party software to run it?
