I have recently changed to mac pro, and was curious as to how i could install windows 7, this answered everything i could think of. Just a couple of things still puzzle me. I am planning on using the bootcamp utility for the installation.
Firstly i assume the macbook would have 2 operating systems, thus giving me the choice of which one to run...how do you choose which operating system to boot up.
Yes, it would. You simply hold down the Option key when turning your Mac on. Then you can choose which OS to boot into. This is covered in the Boot Camp documentation which you will be prompted to print out during the Boot Camp Assistant process. As much as you might feel that your 'man card' is in jeopardy, I strongly suggest that you print it and read it thoroughly. I'd also recommend backing up before you start.
Do features such as the bluetooth capability and everything else still work, whilst in the windows o/s.
Thanks
Yes they do. The drivers are installed for all of the hardware components by the Boot Camp setup program for Windows that comes with your Leopard/Snow Leopard disc (although you may need to run the Apple Software Update within Windows before everything is fully functional with Windows 7, since its release post dated Leopard/Snow Leopard's release).
