It has been done, the contest is over and there is a winner. This means there is a way to boot Windows XP natively on the Mac with no emulator at all. All you need is a Windows XP with Service Pack 2 included, the patch available here, Nero and a blank CD-R. Installing Windows will delete your OS X installation, as the hard drive needs to be partitioned, so both operating systems can exist at the same time. So time to buy a new MacBook Pro.
