SWEEET! It arrived before the shoot out. If I can get bootcamp loaded in time it'll be with me. w00t!

Loading BootCamp is no problem and I haven't seen any problems so far on my 15 MBP. I would recommend installing the software updates, then the firmware, then BootCamp before you do anything else. The repartitioning is extremely quick when I did it this way. I selected 20GB on my 100GB drive but that's starting to feel like it's too much. I also formated it as FAT32 so I could transfer/edit stuff over.

This may be out of my league, but I don't think FAT32 is a good idea for a Mac startup disk, at least that's what I've heard...

You can format the windows partition as a different disk format? Huh.

How does photoshop work on it? Is it super slow? If you could process some raw files and post some processing times that would be awesome. :thumb

Congratulations. I have been looking at one myself, but I am going to try to wait for PS to catch up or maybe a 19" MBP. :deal :lol3

No photoshop on here for me. Bootcamp requires an installation disk with Windows SP2 on it and I didn't have that and I didn't have a way to get that quickly when I found out. So no Boot Camp, Windows, or Photoshop on here right now. Maybe someday.

Though, I hear rumors that Adobe may be releasing CS3 by December. So maybe I won't put Boot Camp on here at all :dunno
