XP doesn't run any more "proper" on purpose made Wintel hardware than  
on Apple's. Minor issues such as no support for built-in MacBook Pro  
camera. Maybe the camera is supported now? I admit I haven't booted  
my Parallels XP environment in several months, much less bother to  
install the latest upgrades. Most recent word is that Parallels will  
now run a Boot Camp partition, without rebooting into Boot Camp.

Not Intel-native, but certainly Intel-ready. Some PPC apps do not run  
as fast on Intel as the fastest G5, but most all Intel run PPC as  
fast or faster than a good G4.

You have been listening to ignorant sources making up unfounded stories.
