Depends on you actually... Some do buy together but I didnt buy... Due to you still can purchase it within the 1 year warranty as long as its not expired you will get the extra 2 years warranty. I didnt buy it when I bought mine is due to I can put the extra cash into somewhere more useful for me... =)

So its up to you..

In what way a windows virus can affect OSX files? This you need to understand a virus characteristic. It delivers a payload once executed or the condition in right and target the system vulnerability. Windows and OSX have different vulnerability i.e. different kernel, file system etc. What is an executable in windows is not in OSX. So the virus can't execute it's command in OSX where it's not familiar with. A virus exploit the system vulnerabilities.

On the other hand, we can see that OSX is getting a foothold on the computer industries compared to like 10 years ago. OSX user base have grown a substantial numbers, so I would not be surprised if there would be "viruses" written specifically for OSX in the near future. The anti-virus industry is a big money thing. Last time, the OSX user is so small that it's not beneficial or profitable to virus writers or anti-virus companies (which sometimes I think writes these viruses - hahaha conspiracy theory).
p/s - I stand corrected. A quick google on Mac OS X viruses shows a few viruses for OSX already circulating i.e. HellRaiser Trojanhorse aka OSX/HellRTS.D (http://www.securemac.com/hellrtsd.php). Like any trojanhorse, user need to execute the virus first to release the payload.

Another virus Leap-A (probably written as a proof of concept) spread thru iChat IM (http://news.techworld.com/security/5392/worlds-first-os-x-virus-hits-apple/).

And the best thing

hehehe..there is nothing wrong of having folders on the same partition..it's just that i had been using windows for years..and the traumas of losing files and corrupted data when windows crashed still rings the bell..ive been asking a lot bout this partitioning that ive come to solution now as advised..thanks guys..

1 thing though..can i run applications or games that were installed on MAC from WINDOWS or the other way around?

If i buy later , will it cost me more or its just the same ?

thx for the long long reply haha. but ya i know the virus is unexecutable on OSX. that's why i'm asking about bootcamp or VM

bootcamp 3.0 can access n write on the mac partition right? so does that mean the files in Mac HD can get infected by virus? let's say i'm in bootcamp in windows 7, somehow caught a virus, and the virus infected a file named random.pdf, which is located in Mac HD. then i boot back in OSX, i email the random.pdf to a windows friend, and he'll get the virus too. am i correct?

same thing with VM. lets say i shared my Pictures folder in VM. and somehow i caught a virus in windows. can the virus infect the files in the shared folder? and same thing lah...if i email the files (regardless in OSX or windows) to a windows friend, they can get infected?

All 2010 13" MBP user please see this !

I am using Safari 4.0.5 and everything updated to the latest ! i even tried running Firefox but still CPU usage high !

That's normal when using flash on OS X. OS X and Adobe Flash does not mix very well. That's why Apple really pushing HTML5 to replace Flash. Now even youtube is slowly migrating to HTML5.

So to answer your Q, no solutions ... for now (maybe after Adobe release the new flash that uses hardware decoding).

There are, but in beta. And only for supported macs.

Use at your own risk.

WTF !!! delays !!!

bought it on 27th ! not for me for my gf !

my MBP late 2007 got stolen recently bought it around 8600RM : (
i still like old classic design ! its genuis !

If bootcamp have direct/full access to mac partition, then the example random.pdf (but mostly would be *.exe files) thats been infected/modified by the virus would be transmitted to your friend if you email/passed on to him. This is more like a trojan horse then virus, since it needs human intervention. Viruses will only propagate and spread itself if you're on your windows thru bootcamp/vmware/parallels. That's why you need to use antivirus on bootcamp/vmware/parallels even on Apple Mac system (not the OS X itself). If you sent an infected file, regardless from OS X or Windows, the other party using windows will get caught.

If you read the article from macforensicslab.com, there's a definition on what is virus, trojan horse and worms.

So ... careful when sending stuff to your windows friend. Kesian sama dia.  . That's why I disabled windows having full access to OS X partition in parallels.

p/s - The links and article I posted is to share that Mac/OS X are not virus free. In fact the first virus created was for Mac back in those days. So if Apple evangelist still say that Mac do not have viruses, they are wrong. Only that viruses for OS X is not as rampant as those in windows.
