Even if Macbook is able to support Vista, it might have trouble running it because of the GMA 950 card unless you're running 'home basic edition'

I've tried it only via Parallels. It works great, snappy enough if you have enough memory. I have 2GB memory on my MB and Mini. There are no Aero effects but I can skip the eye candy for now.
Never tried it with Boot Camp though. |

I bought Parallels online, USD80. At today's rate, it's only around RM280Added on February 9, 2007, 5:52 am QUOTE(razom @ Feb 9 2007, 12:06 AM) It works fine with Vista Ultimate Edition, but Aero graphics doesn't come up if you're running in an emulated/virtual environment and the high end 3D stuff isn't emulated.This post has been edited by tishaban: Feb 9 2007, 05:52 AM |

I think, if with 512MB RAM, you might not get all the 3D features. |

Very good la if you want to install 2GB. Mac OS really hungry of RAM, max is as much as you can and you'll get perfomance. Google for tutorial la. But as far as I remember, just delete EFI partition then you can install Vista.

Well I try Vista to learn more about it. I also try dozens of Linux distro. Because I want to know as more as I can, and learn as much as I can. I don't want to be stereotype

Well the point now is people are moving towards OSX for its efficiency, and that they can still do their business related stuff in OSX.
On the other hand, one of the common reason people insist to stay with Windows, is Games. Sooner or later people will run out of excuses to stay with Windows! |

Hmm.. i think still same. Games. as for business stuff, it's just will be windows. Since mac products cost quite alot and i don't think any company will use mac products unless it's a design company. 90% market share hold to microsoft and most of them are under companies rather than normal users. In my opinion, people are moving towards osx are the normal users, but for companies, they still will go to microsoft.
