Hi few question here. I'm new to Mac.

1) After install windows 7 using bootcamp can I remove the windows as my MacBook Pro is running on 4Gb RAM <-- Got the answer from google.

2) As long as I don't launch the boot camp no windows 7 running on background it won't affect my RAM usage am i right?

3) Lastly is Boot camp free? I just launch Bootcamp assistant from utilities then install that's it? My only cost is the windows 7 license am I right?

Just wondering if Boot Camp is free why people still buying PD7 that cost not cheap.

Thanks everyone.

1) If you use bootcamp and boot up into MacOSX, Win7 code won't be executed .. hence, it doesn't affect anything on your RAM.

2) Yes, bootcamp is free and the only thing you need to pay is the win7 license.

3) We use virtualmachine (PD7 or Fusion etc) because we want to run both OSX alongside with Win7. With bootcamp, you need to reboot each time you want to use either OSX or Win7.
