for all wondering vista wrks perfectly...although not worth the effort

i'm not installing it until i know that the ATi control panel is back so i can make my external 20" the primary monitor on windows as well as macos, without all the 1.3 problems of having to remove the standard one and install a custom x1600 driver.
I'm amazed that Apple haven't started using their windows Apple Software Update utility to update boot camp installations.
I would rather just download the specific stuff for my iMac/Windows XP straight onto windows, and have it install right there - all this CD burning malarky is getting pretty old...!

You can extact the drivers out of the app bundle without having to burn a disk.
Navigate and open DiskImage.dmg from /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Resources. Then copy the folders onto a USB stick and you can run the setup file from there when in windows. IT's they way i do it when they release an update.
And yes 350MB is a big download for something like bootcamp especially when it is mainly just drivers (336 MB).
download the disk iamge from the apple site. Then open up the disk image, control-click the "Install Boot camp assistant.mpkg" - Show package contents.
Then navigate through "Contents" to "Resources" find "BootCampAssistant.pkg" then control-click on that again and show package contents. Then go through "Contents" again and find "Archive.pax.gz" double click on that. It will extract it to a folder on your desktp called "Applications" Then go and find "Boot Camp Assistant in there. Control click and show package contents. Navigate through to Resources and find "DiskImage.dmg" in there. Double click on that to open it and copy the all the drivers out of there onto a USB stick and you should be able to install them in your windows partition.

I'm with you, I just installed Winders, this week, I am not going to bother untill leopard as well
When I activated for Parallels using my Boot Camp Volume, it screwed up activation for my Boot Camp regular boot (just booting straight into Windows). I had to remove parallels and call Microsoft to get a new activation key.
Sorry, I should have specified, TV out (e.g. s-video). However, now that I think about it, my TV does have VGA, which would probably work just fine. Oh well. I have no reason to anymore. I cancelled the VOD service that I wanted to use it with, hoping Apple comes out with a solution this Fall.
D'OH
I just downloaded boot camp <whatever the last version was> (1.3?). Now I have to download 374MB of this
I have to interject here
What is the issue with 374MB download? It takes me a whole ~ 6 minutes to DL it. Maybe that long.
Edit: 2 Songs later at approximatly 4:40, Download complete.... I didnt even notice
So why are we bitching about it being 374MB?
Not everyone has fast unlimited broadband. Also why should i download 347MB just to get the few drivers that have been udpdate for my computer, perhaps 20MB worth of data at the most, or in your case about 15 seconds. It just doesn't make sense.
Just because we have faster internet now doesn't mean we should just abuse it through extraneous downloads. What is wrong with being efficient.
Good point... but 8MB unlimited downloads is dandy for me
Either way, Im not updating it... 1.2 has been fine for me
Vista so far seems to work flawlessly with the new 1.4 drivers, I'm going to try tonight to see if I can get it to output 1900x1200 via dvi-hdmi. With the previous 1.3 drivers I was only able to get it to output 1024x768.
One fix I noticed was the windows experience index now works.
One thing that wasn't fixed was the power management utility, I still have to unplug the magsafe adapter and replug it back in to notice it's plugged in.

Has anyone with a Mac Pro installed Windows Vista yet, with the BootCamp 1.4 drivers?
I had it installed before, but it had a problem, where it would give me a bunch of error messages at startup, but then continue starting up anyway. It would spend at least a whole minute on this black screen with white text scrolling across the screen, with multiple messages that start with "Warning:"
The computer still started up fine, and Windows worked perfectly, but i'm just wondering if they've fixed this, because it literally tripled boot up time.

How could Apple possibly get away with CHARGING for Windows drivers for their own hardware?
They'd get some massively bad PR for that kind of move.
Does anyone know if this error message still shows up during Windows Vista startup, on the Mac Pro?
"Warning: Unrecognized partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK tool (err=4)."

Yeah, I had that on my intel imac when i had it running Vista. It works eventually, just takes a while. And it still exists in Bootcamp Version 2.0 (Leopard)

Yeah, I know it works. It just extends startup time by about a minute.
I can't believe it still exists in Leopard. That means it still exists in 1.4 also....
i cant get it to install past the ATI DRIVERS. It's sitting on that window with another window open that i cant see.
