Anyone using Macbook?

[moose6912]

I just purchased a new Mac Book and partitioned it using FAT32 and installed Windows XP on it. Then I tried download games from Big Fish and I could not start the games at all. Clicking on the "Play" button yielded no response. Anyone having a similar problem using Mac Books?

Uh, what's the point on getting a MacBook to run Windows in the first place?

I've got a MacBook, but I use it the way it came (with Mac OS X on it).

He probably has both OS, and so he has two computers in one.
Edit: maybe BFG would like to help you ...

So that I can develop using Visual Studio on Windows XP and then watch movies and test my Mac builds of my games on Mac OS.

I plan to do the same thing when Apple releases the next rev of the MacPro. Except I'll develop on Mac and port to PC.

I'm sick of fighting homebrew PCs. They're hardly worth the cheap parts they're built from.

You may find that many casual games run fine under Parallels or similar VOSes. I hope I don't have to reboot, except to play more hard core games.

We are just about to announce the release of our first game we built almost entirely on Macbooks.... most of us have boot camp for testing / development depending on what we need but yea... 3 of us have mactels and one a mb pro... we have some PC test comps and server we use but using a combo of x code and codeblocks has worked REALLY well for us and I think it is a real great way to go!
