Windows - Just some ?'s on Windows 7
Hey whats up mac world! 1st post so have mercy!
Ok like the title I just have some questions about Windows 7
I have a macbook pro unibody 4gb of ram
1. Will this work on my book?
Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - Operating Systems
2. Should get the 32 bit or the 64 bit version? (I will be using it mainly games like Modern Warfare 2
3. I know off topic but I am thinking of getting the Zune HD, opinions? (I can guess what a majority of them will be lol.)
Thanks and please reply!

To fully utilize all 4GB of RAM you're going to need to get the 64-bit. Apple has indeed released 64-bit drivers for Boot Camp, so you would have no trouble with the 64-bit version of Windows 7. The copy you linked to will work just fine.
As for the Zune, the only thing is that you have to sync it with Windows as it does not currently support OS X.

I would recommend using Fusion or something similar for the Zune. That new one does look sweet.

Yep. You almost have to Boot Camp for games.

Both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard boot ridiculously fast, so rebooting is no longer that big of an issue.
