    i'm pretty new at these stuffs, so i'm not really sure about it. it might sound like a stupid question, but just bear with me. so, is it possible to install windows vista or xp on the macbook pro? after seeing a macbook pro, i was really impressed by the design and the quality and possibly purchasing in the future for college. however, i don't really the OS in Appl computers, so i was wondering if you are able to download Microsoft OS on it and just buy and use your own two button mouses.
