ermm.. do you guys think that we can run Vista in mac using Boot Camp??? just wanna know... i'm planning to buy an imac...

apparently Apple released a firmware update around the same time as Boot Camp to all Intel-based Macs to enable BIOS support on EFI.... since Vista continues it's legacy under BIOS, yes it's possible....

ooo..thanx Eithanius for the information...

Somebody go bulk MacBook Pro

no need for hacker to hack Apple machines anymore. Apple guy themselves hacked them first (successfully).

don't gets your hopes up just yet....

Currently, I've got a source to claim that Vista can be installed without problem, but cannot run...

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Orchant/?p=64

here more facts:

- Boot Camp can load Vista. Or at least the Vista installer. Marc Orchant at ZDNet is one of those using a borrowed MacBookPro, and he was able to load the Vista installer with no problem. Alas, his lender insisted on doing a full backup before allowing Orchant to go any further, so we have yet to see whether a full Vista install is possible -- though we remain optimistic.

- Boot Camp can load Linux. Or at least a Linux installer. Torifile at applenova.com also got cold feet, and aborted an Ubuntu install after confirming that the setup loaded and was able to recognize a keyboard and other hardware.

- International editions of Windows will work with Boot Camp. This should come as no surprise, but with a beta product that's designed to do something that isn't supposed to work, you never know. But the PC Watch team in Japan wasted no time and installed the Japanese version of XP Pro without a hitch.

- Boot Camp can load Windows XP Media Center Edition. Now the Mac mini really is a media PC!

- Third parties are already filling in some of the gaps. With a basic Boot Camp setup, you can't access your Mac OS X partition from your Windows XP partition. However, MediaFour's MacDrive software solves that problem. Now you can boot into Windows and read and write to your Mac partition, which could allow you to have common settings files for some cross-platform apps. Whether or not it will also allow you to share your iTunes library between partitions remains to be seen.

- You can boot from external drives, even though Boot Camp's installer won't allow you to set it up. Actually, that may not be true. However, you can create external boot disks using narf and blanka's boot manager (see, there's still a use for it!). And we're pretty confident that someone will find a way to do so within Boot Camp as well very quickly.


my next mac will be Mac Mini loaded with media center

i bet u this set will cost 500 ringgit

hmmm,might wanna try it,if it arrives in KL

ARGH

only for Intel MACS!!

this cant be

looks like i'll have to be getting anew windows rig then

i Love my G5

ah sc*** apple..changing this and that

No more new mac products for me

I think I would rather join the dark side..get a clone and run OSX86..[which is against all odds..but]

mac fans are now divided, that's for sure..... PPC's dying....

well, atlease not my gang.

Personally I have tried it myself, and it is great (althought I hate it).

Few pros:
1) Doesn't destroy your current partition.
Not like last time, where those methods which need you to bless the xom.efi file. If you don't it wrongly(my first time), I have to format all and do it all over again. This is just amazing, easy and fast.

2)Drivers built for you.
Finding driver in my last Mac+XP is just bad. Well now, most of the driver is built for you, and the most important thing is, video driver!! I feel so happy.

3) Windows does shines.
Damn hell, windows is running smoothly in this machine. I just can't believe it. The performance is so so unbelieveable. A RM5000 custom PC plus a 17 LCD can't match the performance, and yet you can get to run 2 OS in one!!!.

Few Cons:
1) Some hardware still can't be use.
If I'm right, no remote (for sure), no iSight (not sure).

2) It's running Windows!!!
Don't you think it feel wired, Windows on Mac? Although it is real GREAT, yet, it has lost the meaning of Apple-Mac. I just hate it.

3) SP2 and above ONLY.
If I'm I get this right, Boot Camp just allow WinXP SP2 and version above only. Other than that, no way. (Sad, I have SP1 original).

Conclusion:
Until here, that's what I can say. Please share your experience here. I'm glad that all Mac users gather and share.

hope this is not a repeat. lets say that i have both winxp and mac osx installed using bootcamp. what happens if the winxp os gets infected with a virus? will that have any consequences to the mac partition? will the whole hd get infected?
