@ghostlyorb... Beware that running windows via bootcamp doesn't support graphics switching (like in Mac side) between intel and AMD graphics. Sucks big time. Less battery life and more heat. Apple should bring out updated drivers at least to allow manual switching (can't even choose intel graphics!)
So this update to bootcamp probably doesn't mean much unless it improves the graphics. Running windows on Mac is definitely not as good as running windows on a windows pc.
Yeah thanks. I'll mostly be using VMWare for most of everything for college. I have a few programs for work that are Windows only, but I'll just use VMware for that too. No sense installing a partition for only using a few times. Plus.. with the 2.3GHz quad i7.. I have the power to do everything in mac!
Sorry, a little off topic, but I've considered getting VMWare or Parallels, but have one question: can I create a BootCamp partition and then use it as a source disk in VMWare/Parallels? Just so that I could do the best of both worlds as I need it?

My control button is useless in bootcamp. I hope they update this soon. It's not a deal breaker, but it's annoying at times when I'm not using my portable mouse.
This update should solve the shutdown issue I've had since day 1 on my new 15' MBP.
What was the issue? I've seen it a few times just lock up completely when trying to shutdown/restart in Windows.
