Scott, Windows will load slow no matter what system it is on it loads slower though as I said in fusion. In fusion, when you click the boot camp partition, it gets to the point where you think it's not even going to load.

Even when its not running under virtualisation? Had to check for sure that you got what I meant with the last question, because I don't even drink coffee, so you can imagine how bad the waiting would be!
