Why doesn't Apple try to make Windows as seamless as OS X?

[Gav Mack]

I would like to add that I just downloaded the Boot Camp 3.0 drivers that will come with Snow Leopard, and on the older MacBooks that used to not have Tap to Click, tap to click (and 2 finger tap to right click) now works. Two finger scrolling is also better on these laptops.

So finally, in mid-2009, two years after my mid-2007 MacBook was purchased, Windows runs well.

There doesn't seem to be any power changing settings however. I really hope the new MacBooks and Unibody MacBook Pros will see improvements in Snow Leopard as well.

I'll second all of that, I ran into problems with the boot camp drivers supplied with my uMBP with 7 32 Bit but thanks to a developer mate who gave me the Snow Leopard Beta 3.0 drivers which work excellent in comparison to my previous XP Pro with BC 2.1. No more sudden blue screens with the touchpad driver and KbdMgr spiking the CPU at irregular intervals. However compared to Leopard with the 9600 enabled the battery life is poor no matter how I tweak the power options in control panel. I have newer builds of the drivers to try, but it works and by the time they go gold will probably mean it's only weeks until I get 7 Pro in October.

I can't help but laugh with the comment about Windows being inefficient. Vista certainly was but that's history already. I'd look forward to reading the excuses why 7 starts 30 seconds quicker than Leopard and Windows versions of CS3 and Quark are about 20 percent faster than the Mac side.
