The other day, I realized that my MacBook Pro was sitting on the shelf gathering dust. I started work in mid September, and was given a Dell laptop to use for work. The Dell was not a bad machine, however the specs are meager when compared to that of the new MacBook Pro.
With some determination, I nuked the Mac, to re-install OSx. I did this because when I previously removed the Boot Camp partition, the Boot Camp wizard would not set up again. The re-installation went smooth, and I was happy with it.
The Vista installation went smooth. As soon as Vista installed, I used the CD that Boot Camp created to install all of the relevant drivers. Vista runs really well. Booting natively of course allows Vista to run at full speed. Compared to running in Parallels, we are talking tortoise vs. hare.
Only one thing that I would like to have is being able to tap the touch pad. Can't have everything though right?
OSx 10.5, Leopard just came out. Apparently, it has the final version of Boot Camp. I downloaded the latest beta version, and it seems to be working fine. So right now, I don't see any reason to upgrade to Leopard, as Vista is my primary operating system.
