i have the following config.
macbook pro 17 c2d
bootcamp
vista
office 07
f.e.a.r
pirates

vista is pretty cool looking, but not that functional and full off driver issues and i know that is partially apple releasing drivers for it. in any event gaming is ok.
it could and should be better.
i am suprised that pirates even installed because there is a bunch of software that will not even install on vista.
just a quick question though, the trackpad is working, but all goofy, does anyone have or know of how to uninstall the drivers and install good ones?
thanks.
i can answer some questions about my setup.

I would expect better drivers once 10.5 comes out, because most peopl expect some sort of BootCamp type thing to be integrated / Packaged with Mac OS X by then; I expect that to have Vista Support

though i am more impressed with the games that are out on the MAC, i do hope for better drivers for better windows gaming.
