Well I did some reading today on the macrumors.com forums and there are a ton of posts on there saying that the new MBP's install DVD has drivers for Vista 64 bit (boot camp 2.0.3). There are a couple people that say it works, anyone have any more or official links?

All I know for certain is that there are 64-bit drivers for the Mac Pros that were released in January. It's possible that the latest machines may have 64-bit drivers, but I guess somebody will either have to confirm or directly contact Apple about it (though I'm not sure if you'll get a straight answer)

Yeah, I know that one, if you check out macrumors.com in the Windows forum there are a few posts about it

Hmmm... might have to give it a try with my new Penryn MBP. Of course, I only have 2GB of memory, so it's not like it would make a difference.

It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
