[QUOTE="thecatfish34, post: 402822, member: 31779"] Hey everyone. I will be purchasing a laptop this summer for college and am considering getting a macbook pro through the school. I can also get Vista Ultimate for $15, so I would have both it and OS X through boot camp. I have a few questions about the viability of this plan: I know Leopard isn't supposed to come out until October, after I need to have the computer. How difficult/expensive will it be to upgrade? Will I be eligible for some sort of discount because my computer will be so new? Also, since Leopard will have boot camp integrated, would it be prudent for me to wait until after getting Leopard to install Vista? Or will I be able to upgrade to the integrated boot camp from the beta without too many problems? If I should hold off on Vista until October, can I install Windows Media Player on OS X? I need it for my MP3 player (not an iPod, believe it or not). Is there anything else I should consider? [/QUOTE]
