Howdy,
I am wanting to get my feet wet with the Windows 7 x64 RC before I need to start supporting it. Has anyone run the RC on their MacBook Pro with bootcamp?
Also, Have you pulled the bootcamp partition into VMWare Fusion?
Thank you,
Keith

I've pulled my BootCamp partition into VMWare Fusions with no issues what so ever, but you do need.
With the F keys and the BootCamp icon that is usually in the task bar isn't there, however I suspect.

Just bought a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 2GB of memory and a 320GB hard drive. I plan on doing some .net development on it using a BootCamp/VMWare combo since VMWare grants access to the bootcamp partition.
What is a recommended size for a BootCamp...

Also a complete virtual disk for a BootCamp partition....
Why? It's a lot easier to have a really large virtual disk which is not using it all where as BootCamp will take the space.
Recommend BootCamp unless you want to play games on it.

Bootcamp is for actually using Windows as a native Operating system on your Mac and has nothing to do.
I am a little confused here - When you use VMWare Fusion, you should not be using Bootcamp at all.

Is running a VMware Fusion windows VM from a bootcamp partition faster than using a virtual drive? If so, is the difference dramatic or just 5-10%

If you ever need to boot to your Bootcamp partition you'll spend 20 minutes fiddling to get.
But problems.

I've been using an iMac for a while at work (1.5 years), and it is getting flaky, so we are replacing it with a new one. Is there a way I can copy all my Mac stuff AND my complete Windows bootcamp partition to the new mac with a minimum of fuss?

The Macbook pro unibody has two graphic cores: the 9600 and the 9400. When running OS X you can choose which core you want to use.
How do you disable the 9600 and use the 9400 instead on Windows (bootcamp) ?

I just discovered bootcamp and I'm psyched that I can run Windows 7 RC on the MacBook Pro without using a virtual machine. However the virtual machines run a bit better because they support remapping the MacBook's keyboard. Currently I can't find an equivalent...

Step 3 on Page 14 talks about installing the drivers from the DVD .
You might want to take a look at the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide .
I believe they are available on the MacOS DVD.
You have to install the Mac Keyboard drivers for Windows .
