Anyone using Vista through BootCamp (Leapord)?

Simple question really. Anyone running Vista 32bit officially through boot camp on Leopord.

Preferablly MBP but any other config is fine. Just curious as to what doesn't work (in terms of devcies with no driver or error on device manager). (screenshot pls!!)

i.e. iSight camera, remote etc.

Finding it had to find details on the web as Leopard is new and a lot of poeple use vmware/parallels. This interests me less as obviously you are not using the full system reources and many less devices will work I guess as some will be emulated through the VM.

Seems to be iSight and Network drivers that are the problem under bootcamp Vista 64bit. If this is for work purposes then I would suggest either waiting for the working drivers to appear, or just to use 32bit Vista on Bootcamp (and 54bit under VMware fusion for example).

I seem to be stalking you, rp2000

It/s more for testing to be honest. Vista to mess around and hopefully a windows server 2003 for some MS Virtual Server testing as well. I have a tower to do this as well shot term so no biggie.

cheers for all the info. I am taking notes fo when I actually get the MBP (eitehr this week if I am confident the Jan refresh won't happen or will not affect me) Or late Jan if it does.

Annoyingly as my mac mini is 32 bit I can't test any of this in advance (It would be slow, but I would feel more confident after testing myself.)
