        ""Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC.
        That means it'll be subject to the same attacks that plague the
        Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest
        Microsoft Windows security fixes."

        "Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to
        handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are
        stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the
        Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries."
