As others have pointed out, Vista was a flop with both performance and
quality issues. So both users and vendors will be loathe to help with
any problems on Vista. Vista peaked at about 19% market share and,
depending on whose numbers you use, is around 9% as of July. I believe
Bootcamp 4.0 (OSX Lion) drops support for Windows Vista and Bootcamp 3.2
dropped support for Vista 64-bit. This is not a horse you want to hook
your cart to. A Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade is about $120 from most
major retailers. Probably worth your long-term sanity to save up for
that. I did find a coupon for 20% off at staples here:

So if that works it would bring the cost below $100, at least through
August 20. I'm sure there are other deals floating about.

Simle. Can't really affore windows 7 and besides, already have the
install disk for 7. I don't really want it for anything but to use

Why go with Vista, use windows 7, it's much improved over Vista,
Vista will offer you no advantage.

Okay,
After literally years of resisting installing windows Vista on my
Mac, I am seriously considering actually breaking down, admitting
defeat in an effort to rescue a windows lap top and actually
installing windows Vista on my Mac book Pro. Frankly, I feel like a
traitor even thinking about doing that. IF in fact I do this, I'm
would use JAWS in it's lap top configuration. Is there any special
circumstance I need to look for under Lion while doing this? I mean
like assuming I get everything installed correctly. Thanks.
