    Anyone run the demo on Macbook Pros via Boot Camp? How well does that run? A friend's wondering if he should buy XP (for cheap through school) and BF2142 to run on his MBP

    Good question, I haven't seen a whole lot of reports about it. Over on the macrumors forum there's one thread about it, and people were encountering some DirectX 9 errors, but apparently those were similar to errors some people were getting on regular PC's as well.

    Conceivably with the DirectX 9 stuff sorted out, and probably with Omega drivers instead of the default drivers, it seems like it should run, but hopefully someone here with an MBP can tell for sure.
