booting xp on intel mac is possible after all

in the past they said that windows xp installer won't boot on an intel mac 'coz it is dependent on BIOS while intel mac doesn't use BIOS, it uses EFI instead.

now things gone full circle, you can now install xp on an intel mac, somebody had hack an EFI bootloader for windows xp cd installer

What You'll Need

• An original XP PRO SP2 CDROM (It doesn't have to be bootable, but it should have a i386 directory in the root.)
• The winxponmac0.1.zip file
• A PC with XP already installed (To do this without a PC with XP installed see section 2.4)
• Nero Burning ROM
• A blank CD (Preferrably a CD-RW, just in case it doesn't work first time)
• 20–30 minutes

Tech journos far and wide have been quick to jump on the story that while Apple says it isn’t doing anything to specifically prevent people from installing Windows on an Intel-based Mac, the new Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) that Apple is using on the new Macs won’t work with current generations of Windows.

EFI is the next-generation replacement for the 20-year-old BIOS, the oldest part of modern PCs which is in desperate need of an overhaul. EFI allows devices in the PC to be initialised before the operating system boots, and has features like full network support before the PC has even booted, allowing drivers to be downloaded and updated before an operating system loads.
