Still funny that Apple chooses to make the key layout slightly different
Actually its the Uk (Irish)
Hence I can add all my fada's to gaeilge with alt pressed, but essentially its the uk keyboard.Doesnt matter now anyway, I cant press any key on my macbook. It's gone back for replacement because it stopped reading optical media altogether..
Decided as I have extra memory already, to replace it with a standard black config.
ask the thread maker he should be able to share it a pm to him might not go astrayanamznazn said:

Vista will definitely make quite a few sales based solely on the fact that it looks "cool" and "fresh".
But it's got nuttin.
Exactly my thoughts.

If Vista was what it set out to be then it would definatley be innovative i mean with WinFS and all the features it had touted it was set to be a killer, trouble is MS couldnt actually do any of that.
instead this is just the base, Vista will suck in my opinion. Vista 2 or whatever supercedes could be good as the features promised for vista might be there.
Ms suck at developing

Try installing XP under Bootcamp using Apple's instructions first. Then when you are in XP land, run the Vista installer.

If you look in the original thread referenced in the guide, then there is a reply in which installing Vista without XP is discussed.... You basically need a little trick to be able to pull drivers off the Bootcamp disc and use them with Vista.
no idea how to use the quote feature so I'll do this instead

Has anyone else had a problem with disappearing Lakeport drivers? I finally got wifi to work, rendering Vista usable, but now I'm stuck with Intel's non-WDDM driver :[ The Lakeport drivers no longer appear in the drivers list under Intel, and they aren't available for download on Intel's or any other site. They don't seem to exist in the system folders, either. It's probably of dubious legality, but if someone with still-existing Lakeport drivers could upload them for me, I'd be eternally grateful.
Just an update lads. I removed photos as all you viewing this page have maxed out my .mac bandwidth (where the pics were hosted)

Try it once in the safe mode. It happened to me when I tried to updat ethe drivers from Windows update and my machine won't start in Vista. I used to get a black screen. I then tried a couple of things and then started Vista in safe mode to select the Lakeport again. It worked, but don't know how!!!
Well.. I installed Vista on my Latitude and boy did that have an unhappy ending. My partition table ended up being corrupted and I could not boot into Vista or Windows XP. Even Partition Magic didn't recognize the partition. It just came up as "Bad" haha. XP is now being reinstalled. I love my OSX. Things like this remind me of why I love OSX so much! I'm not a fanboy I just go by my experiences.
Now mac hardware... that is a different story
