Hello May, Chris is quite correct, currently, there are major Boot Camp issues when running Windows 7 on the MacBook Pro 13 inch, with one caveat; is you don't mind using the analog headphone jack, audio in Boot Camp is not a problem.
We're hoping that this issue will be resolved by the launch of Windows 7, next month. While Fusion works well, for many of us, the MacBook Pro 13 inch Capslock key is not recognized by Jaws in Windows 7. Thus, using Fusion, you may have to remap the Capslock key. Another choice is to simply attach a Windows USB keyboard to your Mac and you'll be in business.

I don't always want windows running, just when I need it. Also I have a macbook and lepard.
