I know that you can run windows on a Mac, but I am not sure whether you can run Vista yet. I have a Mac, and work with windows at work and I am not sure why you would ever want to run windows anyways. Plus, it seems the Mr. Gates has patterned Vista after Mac OS anyways, I don't think that it would be even close to worth the hassle, just use the Mac OS

it can be done but unless you want driver problems then don't vista has issues air cards phone modems and other things that require downloaded drivers take work around because it is so new i have an acer notebook with vista and anything that i try to install is a hastle no one else has updated yet if your set on windows go with xp evrthing is easier but i wouldnt change from the opperating system it comes with

Yes - the Core Duo Processor can run Windows XP or Vista with Boot Camp

I am almost positive that it can't. But I want to know why you would want to run Windows. Once you go Mac, you never go back!
