Yes, there are several of us doing this already with great success try doing searches on this subject a lot has already been written about it, not sure if it was on this or the club forum. PC World (if memory is serving correctly) ran testes on the top ten notebooks to see which ran Windows Vista the fastest. Go Figure, the MacBook Pro won all of the bench tests, just Google it. Windows 7 (imho) has the potential to be more of the same with more broken promises. I have been running Windows XP Pro SP3 on my Mac's for a couple of years now and it has run better on my Mac then it ever did on my Dell Inspiron 7500. FWIW, Bruce H | ||

Windows running better on a Mac is not unusual PC Mag, I believe it was, tested several of the top end notebooks and conducted speed tests on them all and a Mac Book Pro took the performance honors. But that test was in Boot Camp, I've read somewhere online that some thought that the uniformity of the Mac hardware and driver relationships might be the cause of this performance boost. I know one Mac 'N' user that wanted to run Windows dedicated on one machine that only ran 'N' products. Rather than buying a Windows PC he bought a Mac Mini and only runs Windows in Boot Camp with 'N' products. He effectively just converted his Mac Mini into a Windows PC and he say's it runs better than when he used PC's. Now we only have two Windows apps that we have to uninstall - reinstall. Uninstall .Net - reinstall .Net etcetera. Whatever the reason we can just be happy about it! Bruce H |
