I am in the process of purchasing a new laptop. My RL business has new software that can be run only on Vista or Mac. (both versions on the same DVD). I don't have either. Which mac laptop seems to have the least problems with SL. My RL Mac owner friends say the worst day with a Mac is still better than the best day with Windows.  Thanks in advance for any replies. |

Latest MacBook Pro runs SL fine in Vista... and eventually they'll get around to updating it to work well in the MacOS X side, too. I can run it in Mac if I set to windowed mode, and reduce the window size to like 1/2 or less the overall screen size. Otherwise it quickly crashes the whole computer. GE |

Vista on a IMac

How about running SL on a Vista partition in a IMac? It'll worth the effort? I've seen the graphic card benchmarks under OsX and Vista on the same machine and the difference is overwhelming.
Let me know

From: Osgeld Barmy has anyone tried the linux client on OSX? My friend did, and as far I know he still does, and he said it is the best of all the versions he has tried, and he has tried all of them, Mac, Windows and Linux. |

From: Klang Wopat Overwhelming in what way? Oh well, under Vista tha SAME videocard (physically the same, running first under OSX and then - reboot - under Vista in a IMac Alu partitioned with bootcamp) at least doubles its performances in 3D games. |
