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 ;)
