Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kash" data-source="post: 366140" data-attributes="member: 23444">Boot Camp is essentially a piece of software that partitions your hard drive, sets up a boot loader, and burns a CD with all the drivers for your hardware. Updates are simply tweaks to this system, evident by the fact that the beta works just fine. So the final version should just have better performing drivers and more stable code in the program itself. What all that means is that your Windows partition isn't affected by Boot Camp updates. Once the partition has been created and boot loader installed, there's really nothing more needed to keep Windows running on a Mac. So upgrading to the latest version of Boot Camp shouldn't require you to scrap your Windows installation just to start new. Just like every other partitioning software, Boot Camp should see the Windows partition and set itself up accordingly.Now, if you're willing to upgrade to Leopard to get the final version of Boot Camp, you probably won't have anything to worry about. It should be utterly seamless. One final note. You shouldn't have to worry about calling up Microsoft as activation should go without a hitch if you're simply re-installing Vista on the same machine with the same specs. The only time you would have to call is if you've activated too many times in a short period of time or if you've changed a significant piece of hardware, such as a motherboard.</blockquote>
