They say (somewhere and its quoted in a Mac TV ad) that the Macbooks
are the fastest laptops running windows right now. The only thing
bootcamp really does is setup the proper boot loader and provides
drivers to access the machine's hardware so outside of things like
mapping the Mac keyboard to windows, mouse buttons,etc, it really is
just a windows machine.
As an interesting aside, I am a member of a local dot net SIG that
meets once a month. Last month, Microsoft held an installfest where
they gave free copies of Visual Studio 2008 Pro to registered
attendees. At the table I was at while installing it, the 3 other guys
were also using their macbooks. Here we are at a microsoft meeting and
an entire table is running Macs! FYI I was the only one running
bootcamp (others were using parallels) and Vista (boy its slow
compared to XP).

I felt the same way, so I offered to put OpenOffice.org onto her
computer. She's been using it (when the computer was working) and
likes
it much better than Office 2007.

I would consider the broken office 2007 as a blessing, its the most
difficult program suite to use that I have ever seen (and this goes
back
to the very first versions of slackware, etc.)
The ribbon interface is so much work I uninstalled it and put the old
versions back on.

I just felt I should share this, as it's a rather interesting
chain of
events. I have a customer that's been having problems with her
brand
new Gateway computer (purchased 3 months ago). Thus far, here are
the
list of problems encountered.
Problem #1: Blue Screen: Hard Drive Failure.
Solution: Drive reimaged by Service Center.
Problem #2: Test Environment still loaded on PC from Service Center.
Solution: Operating System Resoration CD's mailed to customer.
Problem #3: Blue Screen: Hard Drive Failure. Restoration CD's fail.
Solution: Drive replaced by Service Center.
Problem #4: Customer Double-billed.
Solution: Unresolved. Gateway is "investigating the issue".
Problem #5: Unable to Dialup to Internet.
Solution: Modem replaced with better quality modem (by Customer).
Problem #6: Blue Screen: Video Card Failure.
Solution: New card being shipped to the customer.
I feel for the customer as she purchased this "high-end" machine for
business use. Vista's been nothing but problems when the computer
is
running, and Gateway will not refund, nor will they replace the
machine.
I can only hope that the video card issue is the last in a long
list of
problems. And there *was* one other issue, the installation CD for
Microsoft Office 2007 was damaged. Totally unrelated to Gateway,
but
still a thorn in her side.
