Just Windows on a Mac?

Has anyone worked out a way of installing just Windows on say a Mac Mini? Partitioning the whole drive and formating as NTFS.

    What do you search for as I'm not having much luck?

    I want the maximum hard disk space available to Windows.

    <--Saying nothing about how weird it is you want to use Windows instead of OS X ;)

    You just pop the Windows CD in, start it up (I think holding down C at startup forces it to boot from the CD), and then install Windows just as you would on any other computer. The fact that Apple made the computer makes no difference.

    <-- agrees with Marty J wondering why you want windows rather than OS X

    bootcamp, and give everything but 20gb to the windows partition... then you still have the luxury of another operating system if you really want it..
