From: Juan I. Cahis on 3 May 2010 10:16 Dear Bruce & friends, Boot Camp is not a virtual machine, if you have a Boot Camp partition on a Mac, you boot directly from it. Of course, you should have the video, mouse, etc, windows Apple supplied drivers installed, as in any windows installation. And you don't need MacOS X to install Boot Camp, you can do it manually (as I did) if you know how to partition your hard drive correctly for Boot Camp.

Somehow this reminds me of Samuel Johnson's famous observation: "A woman in the pulpit is like a dog raised up on its hinder legs. It is not surprising that it does it poorly, but rather that it would want to do so at all."
