hey guys
someone mentioned here that i cannot install win 7 from usb on mbpro .. only win 8 can ..
now i have win 8 and STILL fkin cannot install it from usb
WTH now?
 
Hmm...the latest BootCamp Assistant - at least, the one which comes pre-installed on the rMBP (not sure if my subsequent update to 10.8 bumped the version, but what I have installed now reports v5.0.0 (444) ) will take an installation DVD or an ISO image and write everything necessary to a USB disk.

I can verify that this works, since I used it myself with Win7.
