Will Vista work on an Intel MacBook?
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Hardware, Laptops & Notebooks, Software
I am contemplating purchasing an Intel MacBook. Being that I work mainly with PCs which will be upgraded to Vista when it comes out, I’d like to know if Vista will work on it or not.
Yes Intel Mac hardware is great for Windows Vista. People have been running Vista through Boot Camp and Parallels with a great deal of success. However, I wouldn’t recommend running the Vista eye-candy “Aero Glass” in Parallels on any Mac. Aero Glass should work well on Pro level Macs and iMacs in Boot Camp, but on Macs with integrated graphic processors, like the MacBook, you should nix the Aero Glass.
