Hi Martin
Well, let's just say that I need a version of Windows for testing purposes at
work. But for me, Boot Camp is a waste of space.
By the way, for the benefit of David, who just joined us. David, you can talk
about Toot Camp on the other group. The only thing you can't discuss is the
configuration of Windows itself. For instance, you can't discuss JFW,
Window-Eyes or whatever. But the configuration of Boot Camp itself is fine ono
the other list. I hope that makes things a bit more clear.
BC 4 is necessary I think for Lion because it's a 64-bit boot loader. Lion
boots into 64-bit mode natively I personally use Fusion with Windows 7 64-bit.
That's lightning fast actually under that configuration on our MacBook Pro.
I'm going to install it on one of our Intel I7 quad core machines shortly,
just to see what happens.

One of the reasons I abandoned Windows about ten years
ago was that I could see it was becoming the world's largest
collection of patches, tweaks and cluges. There's just no system
to it. It's all about making it work today and to Hell with
tomorrow.
A true built-in screen reader would also be necessary to
change my mind. I don't care if they license it from Freedom and
sell everybody a copy of JAWS for two Dollars or what they do,
but until it becomes something useful out of the box for the
masses, it is worthless in my books.
I'm sorry, but that's how I think of anything to do with
Microsoft and Windows. They can still get religion and get on
the wagon, so to speak, but I don't see any evidence of that any
time soon.
O yes, that earthquake on the East Coast last week was
some hackers getting a sneak preview of all the fantastic
wonders to soon be coming out of Redmond any day now!
Gordon, try to contain yourself. The Earth just can't
take this sort of kinetic abuse much longer.
