In the next week I'm gonna be putting Vista on my MBP, but have a few questions (and as there's no search....)

I know that Vista needs different drivers to XP, so does the bootcamp CD/DVD you burn contain both Vista & XP drivers? (I'm gonna be using Vista Home Premium 32bit )

Also, right clicking on Vista - how?

Finally, on OSX the "delete" key acts how the "backspace" key does in windows, so for running windows on the mac where's the other key?


I know they're n00b questions, but there's no search <crys>

TY
 
To right click you place 2 fingers on the trackpad and click the mouse button :)

It should automatically get the right drivers for you, but it might be worth trying a Google for the drivers just incase.

Not sure about a workaround on the MBP, but I'm sure someone will be along to answer that one.
 
Is the right click with the trackpad something they've added into the new MBPs?

I have one here (the gen before the latest Santa Rosas) and I can't seem to right click without hitting control.
 
IIRC the latest version of bootcamp (1.4?) now supports Vista Home/Home Premium 32bit so I would assume that they have got most of the drivers working properly now.

You have to enable it first though ;)

Given the thread title (and my original question being how to right-click in Vista), I wouldn't be surprised if Slogan meant he couldn't get it to work in Windows - and your screenshot looks like OS X ;)
 
Beware though that support for vista in vmware and parallels isn't perfect at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up, but I've decided that I'll use bootcamp.


Vista Home Premium 32bit OEM has now been ordered from OcUK :)
