Cool so the built-in iSight cameras and the built-in microphones should work with Vista just wanted to make sure.

I don't know if those are even working with XP yet, I can't remember, but if they are they "should" work under Vista.

I dont have a MBP, but on my macbook vista rc1 runs as well as can be expected from a pre release OS, Aero runs just fine on intigrated GFX, so i would assume that aspect of vista would be good when on a macbook pro as well. general speed was much better on my mac than on my dell (gg worthless P-M )

I'd be very inpressed if they did, a lot of PC specific hardware isn't even running on Vista yet.

I am going to wait for my copy of Vista Ultimate to come in before I install it on my MBP. XP is running great and I have Macdrive installed too, which helps a lot. I have heard that there is a project to get Tiger to read AND WRITE to NTFS (I think it is called FUSE). Does anyone know if Leopard will be able to read and write to NTFS?
