according to Apple, you need "a full, single-disc version of Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later."

Thanks! Now to buy.. Oh great now I;ve bought it the seller tells me its SP1 with sp2 upgrade on a sperate CD, Great now Im going to have to slipstream it, F.U.C.K WINDOWS!
You should be able to install SP1 with bootcamp and then upgrade to SP2. I know Apple says they require SP2, but I think that's for the drivers you'll install afterwards. AFAIK, any x86 OS could be installed with Boot Camp. You could probably do Windows 3.1 if you wanted to (although I suppose you'd need a CD install of that )
