*Wait* before you order your MBP - Unibody 17" Macbook Pro (9600M broken gfx card?)

Why should I call Apple and complain about a problem I don't have? I have NOTHING that you described. I have no burning casing around the "esc" key no matter in boot camp or os x.

Good for you. If you have no problems then I agree you shouldn't call Apple.

Can I get a bit of info from you though..

What macbook pro do you have? 17"? 2.93?, etc.

What OS are you running under bootcamp? 32bit, 64bit?
I'm running Vista 64Bit.

Regards,
Simon

"To many variable's with drivers, programs running to keep that pc of MS trash operating to make a blanket statement it's Apple's issue. 90C is within the limits and while yes that is hot to the touch, that's part of the trade off's when pushing a laptop it gets hot."

Sorry but what a load of rubbish.

Firstly running an OS that Apple themselves market as supporting is not "pushing a laptop" even in idle it get too hot COS THE FAN DRIVER IS BROKEN.

Secondly... to many variables with drivers? What are you talking about? I'm running the drivers APPLE gave me. Those driver for myself and a lot of other people ARE NOT WORKING. And that's not Apple's issue?
