Everything you wanted to know about Boot Camp, but were afraid to ask

The three-fingered saluteDynamic duo Jason "The Editor" Snell and Rob "Macho Man" Griffiths answer all your questions about Boot Camp over at Macworld. All of them. Every single one. Even the ones you haven't thought of yet. Yep, that one too. And even gems like this:

How do I invoke the Windows key combinations such as right-click and Control-Alt-Delete?

...Control-Alt-Delete is really only an issue for the MacBook Pro, as it lacks a true Delete Key. OnMac recommends this fix: Go to Start -> Run and enter remapkey for a utility to let you remap keys on your keyboard. OnMac suggests using the Right Command key on MacBook Pro keyboards-save and reboot, and you'll be able to use Control-Alt-Right Command to act as your Control-Alt-Delete.

Spiffy.

My vote for the "Yes, I know what they meant" award?

What limitations are there to a Mac running Windows XP?

...not all keys are supported on Apple Bluetooth keyboards.

Like 'Q' or 'A' or '\\', but who really uses that anyway?
