Hello

So Ill be going to University of Florida UF next year for my engineering. And they require a windows base computer.

My question is will Windows Vista run on the macbook? And would I be able to dual boot it with OS X.

I have also seen something about OS X 10.5 being able to run windows aps....

I love OS X... but must of my engineering aps runs windows....

Thanks for the help....

I believe it will. With Boot Camp you CAN dual boot OS X and Windows, and though right now it supposedly supports only XP I think that's more insurance that there won't be hoards of Mac users storming Apple headquarters because Windows 98 won't work... But then it never DID work very well anyway.

You should be able to do just fine with a MacBook. Take a look at this thread to see why I think so.

Sure, assuming MSFT has actually released it by then.
