Wait, why not format the windows partition as FAT32? I'd like to drag & drop files from my mac side to my PC side – NTFS doesn't allow that, right? #bootcamp
@Nick Sweet: You can if you want, but you'd be limited to a 32GB capacity partition. NTFS allows you to split the hard drive directly in half if you actually plan to do quite a bit with Windows. #bootcamp
For an alternate, VirtualBox has had guest additions for Windows 7 for a while now. I have been running the RC for a while with no issues, about to make a build for the full release.
@jerNELS: Exactly, not to mention that if you do any stuff with Adobe's Creative suite, the Windows versions are drastically superior in their 64-bit Windows releases. Considering how much I have to do that, it's good to have an option to switch to. #bootcamp
Or just wait a month or two. I just read that Apple is planning on releasing a Boot Camp update before the end of the year. [support.apple.com]#bootcamp
@mullingitover: Speed, fit, and finish... Plus Adobe can finally put all that Cocoa code to use they wrote years ago.
@Dillinger23: You see that crap about how long the cycle is to take advantage of GPGPU? :( That better just be a load of crap, I'm sick of my GPU being only good for crunching WU's ;)
Question: are OSX releases worldwide, and are they the same media everywhere? I'm in Japan now, and I'd like to pick it up, but still maintain the English-ness of my OSX installation.
Well, if it comes out next Friday, I'll just postpone getting a new Mac Mini until after that date. (I was going to pick one up tomorrow, but I'm not in too big of hurry.)

@oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: Actually, if he gets a new mini tomorrow, he'll be eligible for the Mac Up To Date program, which lets you get Snow Leopard for $10 (from the Apple web store, free shipping).
I got a new MacBook Pro in June, and my copy of Snow Leopard is preordered to ship the day it's released.
@all: Thanks for the info, but I have decided to put it off for another paycheck. It's not vital right now, and I have until October until I really need it. And $29 doesn't matter much in the long run.
I feel like snow leopard is a big disappointment. Why bother when there is very few useful changes in an OS? Who cares if it shaves off 2 seconds on start up or shut down.
@jacobwaldo2: I dunno, I'd like to be able to shave off all of that superfluous PPC nonsense and get better use of my graphics and processor, but that's just me. Considering how cheap it will be to upgrade from Leopard, I don't see how anyone has any real room to complain.
@Kaiser-Machead: For some reason I can't see jacobwaldo2's comment you replied to. Are you saying this new version won't REMOVE any PPC legacy code? I would like to be able to. THanks

(I know Snow Leopard boasted "upgrade only" but it was actually the full OS, and I want to know if this is the same case)
Anyone know for sure? Thanks! #bootcamp

Actually, since it's an Apple rumor, I'll take it with a salt lick. Still waiting on that Yellow Submarine iPod, people...
