So nice of you to reply him, knowingly there are already a thousand and one discussions on this topic. Not forgetting the descriptions on the Boot Camp website is self explanatory already.

i tried to install BootCamp ...and it never work ...

i dont know why ...thus ..i spent my time more into Mac ...instead of Window ...

im only using windows on my office machine ...other than that ...just with my Mac.


p/s i'm using VirtualBox to run windows on my mac ...virtualbox is not heavy on mac ...running smooth ..

check out in sourceforge.org and type virtualbox ...install it in your mac ..and the performance are better than Parallel and VMWARE

i dont know about u guys, for my case boot camp beta 1.3 works well. I do lots of heavy 3d work in windows mode, and srfing in mac mode. not a single problem.. accept a few small minor here and there. its beta anyway.

Yup, Boot Camp 1.3 Beta works perfectly just for some flaws here and there. Just make sure you back up all your important data because once while I was installing the Windows I chose the wrong partition and ended up accidentally deleting all my files. Just read the manual or just follow your instinct.

BETA version means not fully tested meaning got slight bugs but normal version or without BETA means most of the bugs have been ironed out from the piece of software.

kapalterbang_737 - You dont have to worry so much,
grap your self a mac then boom the bootcamp, it works for me , remember to read the user manual else you will mess up with your partition . last remember to burn a driver cd before you restart your mac to install a windows.

i installed windows vista. aero works fine. 3d flip too. can isight works too . youjust try la
