Just got my new MBP. If anyone has some good #'s, curious with just a base install of XP vs Vista....are they inline with what the memory footprint would be as opposed to a native *bootcamp* install.

I am leaning on running it on Fusion.

Mainly only for 3 things - Quickbooks Enterprise, VISIO and also some developer programs. Won't be running all of them simultaneously.

Just short of that....I won't be using Windows that much just short of me getting to use the apps I need to.

However, memory footprint is important....due to the fact of this hot contested debate on larger memory support with my new MBP. We'll see in the next couple of months if SL will support 8gb memory in this rig.
