Kinda. The firmware upgrade sort of lowered the temperature a little on my machine but it's still essentially NOT a laptop if you know what i mean. wink.gif

That's a viable suggestion, but defeats the purpose of using the Mac platform. The reason why Macs are strong in publishing? Font technology (ligatures, etc), colour management, etc. No doubt Adobe CS (and CS 2) will run faster in the Windows environment, but the fact is that the Mac OS is still far superior where publishing is concerned.

So running BootCamp and Windows is not an option. The only reason I'd want to have Windows running on my future MBP is because of games. Running at native, optimised speeds is very compelling.

It IS an option for now, until Adode apps go universal.

No, Mac uses multi-button mouse alright. Your right context menu will still be there, don't worry. smile.gif

If you use Boot Camp, you can choose to boot into Mac or Windows when you boot and hold on alt key. If you use Parallels, switching to Windows and back is only a couple of shortcut keys away. smile.gif
