I just downloaded parallells and like it for the most part but am having a few issues. First, when completely quiting out of parallels, is it ok to always suspend? When I power o…

So I have a beta of Vista Beta 2. Anyones thoughts on install it instead of XP?

It should work, and probably quite well on your MBP. Elsewhere (I think in this forum) Eug Wanker has posted information that shows the MBP is extremely capable of handling Vista.…

He should double his RAM? Vista only need 512MB RAM to 'run', and he has double that so he would be able to get decent performance. Then again you can never have too much RAM.

Yeah. You can supposedly run XP on 128MB. Try it some time, but plan for a long, long time to play with it. Further, since the video RAM on the MBP is shared with system RAM, ha…

Although I am sure Vista would run just fine in the end the real question is will it run with bootcamp. I heard it wasn't so easy with the earlier betas.

I'd rather just wait until the new MacPro's come out, and then wait 'till Vista's been in the public's hands for about 2-3 months.... you know... so hopefully there'd be little run…

At this rate, we'll probably have 3 more revisions of the MacBook Pro before Vista is released, so a lot can happen between now and then.

So who's installed Vista on their MacBook/MBP? There are Intel GPU drivers, but what about everything else? The Vista beta was publicly released yesterday. How to do it if you al…

I was/am debating weather to install vista... I downloaded the beta today. If I did, I would do it on my MacBook, as my iMac has so much stuff on it. The reason I am holding back…

OK. installing now...

OK people, I installed, and all seems to be well, except video drivers - can't get them right yet, im running at 12808 x 800, but no aero. Also, sound does not work, nor bluetooth,…

^^^ Hmmm... 1) The install process for Vista is remarkably ugly. 2) Are you sure it's the "Intel Lakeport" driver for GMA 950? It doesn't say that on the Intel Vista pages. It jus…

OK. Oops, I missed the comment about the free hosting in the original post. Thanks for the link. At least we now have confirmation that Aero Glass does work on the MB, as expected…
