Subject: Re: windows on Mac
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate that I picked up on ebay for 150 $CAD.
The mac runs a bit hotter under windows and the keyboard baklight has
a life of its own. But it works fine. My only problem is that I've
gotten used to using multiple fingers for various actions on my
trakpad and I haven't been able to replicate that on windows 7
(haven't spent a lot of time on this, probably could work). That and
I keep hitting mac keyboard shortcuts with no results. I don't think
I can dual boot my mind.
