since when was vista not possible?
I had vista's last RC running with bootcamp months ago....
Yah, but it lacked some drivers that would provide full functionality of your Mac.
For example; right click support with MacBook/Pro trackpads.

OK, now that that's out of the way, we can be SURE that LEOPARD WILL BE ON TIME! lol
Cool...but is there so much advantage of installing vista over XP when there is tiger already? Many of Vistas advantages over Xp can be found in Mac OS X...
Indeed.
The ONLY thing I need my Boot Camp/Parallels Windows to do on my Mac is run Windows programs.
XP does that perfectly well. I see no reason to tell ANY Mac user to use the resource-draining Vista on their Mac when XP can do the job they need with a lot less stress on their system.
What is even more interesting is that Apple released this update. Why release it so early? They could have held off for Leopard's release. Not sure if it means things are moving swiftly, or if they know Leopard will be released at the tail end of their schedule and want to keep people from sending irate emails.
Did they finally fix that trackpad bug where the trackpad randomly locks up for a while on my MacBook? Hope so, it might make it usable again!
The seeded it to get feedback from customers before shipping the final version in Leopard. Recall Windows environments are wildly more varied then your typical Mac OS X environment so Apple needs this feedback to find issues that they themselves cannot feasibility test (without a large cost).
An earlier report that, support for Vista in Boot Camp wouldn't be possible untill October. So, what's the weather like down in Regina?
So what new stuff (apart from stability) could come in the final Leopard version?
Parallels/Fusion hypermix?
Ugh. Vista.
But I'll be keeping Vi$ta well away from my nice shiny MBP when I get it. I've just spent the last two days (and I ain't done yet) setting up a Vista laptop for a relative and I now feel physically sick as a direct result.

Also, this now makes Macs a possibility for those looking to upgrade to a Vista PC.
How about 64-bit Vista?
Ah, gotcha, I wasn't aware of this - thanks!
As for the weather, it's been a mixed bag lately - lots of sun, highs in the 70s, then rain, cooler temps and storm watches! Ah, March is a fun month... Where exactly are you in this fine country?
Very few people are upgrading their system because of Vista. They are just ready to upgrade and Vista just happens to be pretty much all they can get now. How do I know this? I'm in "average" consumers homes day in and day out. People ask questions.
Grow up.

Don't go anywhere near it. Seriously. You think Vista 32-bit has software compatibility issues. Its nothing compared to the 64-bit version.
