Have anybody try vista on Macbook because I planning to try it. Can anybody give me any suggestion about this ?

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 hv tried it on mac mini...not laggy oso...via parallel...

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.

how much you guys bought your parallels??i am thinking to get one. Btw i wish to will try windows vista once i get my own copy and format it via boot camp.

i got mine for rm370 from machines in mid valley. juz use the given key. as the cd is kinda out dated...it works nicely...
using it to run xp...it's juz like 2 pcs in 1!

even with 2GB of RAM also cant support the Ultimate Edition ?

I bought Parallels online, USD80. At today's rate, it's only around RM280

I tried the RC1 version, with 1GB RAM, the MB support the Aero and all the 3D things. I think, if with 512MB RAM, you might not get all the 3D features.

How about i installing 2GB of RAM to my macbook ?
and does there any tutorial on how to installing vista on a macbook ?

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.

But.. Why Vista when u have OSX?? Hehe..

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

to play games of cos (or run some app which osx cant)..

Its funny when majority people thinks OSX is for those who dont enjoy work when one of the main reason people wants Windows is for Games

What do you mean? Didn't quite understand.

care explain?

you refer to the get a mac ads? I think the "work" more refer to business side, like excel, presentation etc etc.. Mostly done in genetic pc rather than mac. Mac usually do designing works, or stuff like that. And Mac support less games. In most cases, name a few games in mac? The answer will be so few compare to genetic pc. (Got one vid produced by truenuff, they created their own "get a mac ads". The bestline in the vid is "err, photoshop is not a game ?!" )

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.
