Hello
I have Vista Home Premium and would like to install it on my MacPro.
My 3 questions are :

1. I have a BT wireless apple keyboard (and mouse). Will it work with Vista and will I be able to install it anyway? (or I need a wire KB to proceed to the installation)

2. I will install and activate Vista with this beta version of Boot Camp. When Leopard comes out, I will reinstall OS X (10.5) and ... Vista. Will I be allowed to re-use my activation number a second time ? Or it might be refused.

3. Can I install Vista on both my macbook and macpro with the same activation key ?

Thank you in advance!

1) You will need a wired Keyboard and Mouse to complete the Vista Install.

2 )Yes, you will, but you may have to call Microsoft for verification purposes.

3) No.
