Bootcamp, Vista, Drivers, and Macbook Pro

Ok, I am still on stuck on Tiger, but I have an install of Vista Ultimate using bootcamp on my computer. Do I burn a drivers cd using the drivers from bootcamp 1.4? I made my partition using bootcamp 1.2. Also, is there a specific process to installing drivers on Vista. If so, can someone link me to instructions or try and guide me through it. Thank you!

Yes burn a drivers cd or put it on a USB thumbdrive. There are tons of info both in MR, and a quick google search. For example.

Then once you installed the drivers, it can be auto-updated within windows.

Also, if you must have windows, get xp, not vista.
