I was wondering if anyone is running Vista on a 2.8GHz or 2.4GHz iMac and how it runs, if there are any problems. I'm also curious as to what the Vista Experience index score is.
Also, if I install Vista through bootcamp and want to uninstall it do I have to reformat the entire HD including the OS X partition or can I delete the Vista partition and add it to the OS X partition?

im running it under boot camp too.

but my index score is only 5.0
my highest score is the processor at 5.9 and the gfx card also at 5.9
my lowest is the ram at 5.0 (2 GB)

@rmiller - 4gb ram ?

@striker boot camp assistant allows you to easily remove another operating system and merge the partition back into the macintosh hd. ive done it 3 or 4 times already

Hmm, interesting. I have the same model and I have the ram maxed out at 4GB but Windows Experience Index shows 5.0. I'm running Vista Ultimate under bootcamp.
