[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 280285, member: 22866"] When I got my MBP, I asked the rep at the Apple store. He said he has already run the latest beta of Vista with Bootcamp and didn't have any problems. In bootcamp vs. parallels, it depends on what you use Windows for. Many people keep using Win for games, but you can't run games in parallels. Also, USB ports are reduced from 2.0 to 1.0 and I don't think the firewire ports work at all. If the port issue were worked out, I'd probably go with parallels. Hiopefully this issue will be taken care of. It's a shame you can't have parallels AND bootcamp. I suppose you could, but you would need 2 copies of Windows and eat up more disk space. [/QUOTE]
