I'm hoping for video out support for my MBP (with little hope). I downloaded this, then realized that its been months since I descended into Windows. Makes you really question if the 20 GB for Vista are worth it. Probably not, but I've got a class coming up that requires .net IDE, so oh well.

I use Visual Studio all day long from Parallels and have been doing so since the beta versions of it. Works great, I put the VM files on an external drive and then don't need to waste my MBP disk space with Windows.

Though if you want to play games you still need Bootcamp. But I have Oracle, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and a host of other apps on it and it works great. Plus you just backup the VM files and if all goes wrong in Windows you just revert to a previous backup.

If all you're using is Visual Studio I highly recommend Parallels. You could then edit your source files from OS X if you so desired.
 
I take it these are the same people that drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane?

lol some people cant afford the latest and greatest...
i however, can afford the latest and greatest.. but guess what.. i am unable to get it! because my net connection sucks...hairy things.
that is telstra for you

while people behind them are going insane?

oohh i hate that. P platers especially.
 
OK now this is weird...

Just upgraded to Boot Camp 1.4 on my MBP, and now I can't connect to my own network, and my 0 (zero) key no longer outputs a zero! But the even stranger thing is that the keys output numbers (m now outputs as zero).

WTF???

Ummmm...check your num-lock.
 
i dont think they will ever add tap click support: you need to tap the trackpad with 2 fingers for right click... so it would be very hard to determine whetever you are tapping it with one or two fingers to distinguish between right click or a single tap click

Maybe they should ask those really smart people in that company who got this working in OSX. Oh wait... that was apple... aren't they the same people who are making this driver?

I guess it's hard for people who have already done something to do it again. Just not in our universe :)
 
hahahahaha lol. i had this problem aswell!!! it took me at least a few minutes of yelling at the computer to realise wth was wrong.

Well good. At least I am not the only one who brain dumped there :)

Seems to be working OK overall now, but the wifi settings are all weird now. Could be just some other minor thing though.
 
Boot Camp is cool. It lets me use Windows even though I pretend to be a snob like John Gruber.
 
Wow, yeah, I agree, I'm not downloading that! I'm gonna wait until Leopard to do so.

How slow is your guys' internet?? 350(ish)mb is not big at all!! That takes an hour max.

Unless you're on dial-up and then, well, my condolences
 
I think its because ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) doesn't work well in a BootCamped Windows, there is no BIOS in intel macs. No fan, power, cpu advanced control.

The Mac has a dedicated chip for fan control. This isn't ACPI.

When running OSX this handles the fan speed and when running windows this handles the full speed.

The difference with OSX is that it throttles the speed of the CPU more keeping it running cooler, it also uses a lower power processor state than windows normally uses.

I don't think this is it. I installed a temperature monitor under Vista, and according to this the CPUs run 1-4C cooler than under OSX (around 42-43C under Vista, 45-48 under OSX while idling or light surfing). However, the left hand side of my MBP over the speaker grille is much warmer under Vista. However, the temperature monitor (SpeedFan.exe) does not register the GPU, or any other sensor apart from the HD, so I cannot say for certain what the cause is, except that Bootcamp 1.3 felt cooler than 1.4.
 
It could be because Vista is more GPU intensive. Try using Vista without Aero turned on and see if things get cooler.
 
Does Anyone Have The Link To Download Boot Camp 2.0, Please Help!!!!!!!

My System Is Giving Me An Error Saying I Must Have Boot Camp Assistant 2.0
