Windows Vista under macbook

[chstamat]

Hi

I am about to buy a mbp. Before that i'like to post the following questions. Your answers will make deside easier. Thank you in adance.

1)anyone who installed windows vista RTM without removing the efi partition.

2) Bootcamp is beta. Does it means it will stop working some time? Should i not make serious work under windows?

3)Does mbp goes too hot under vista rtm?

4)what about the power consumption and batery life under vista?

5)Stability under vista?

6) Do windows xp x64 install on mbp without bootcamp?(As it supports EFI).

1) I did on my macbook (not pro)

2) No, but it means that the program is not supported by apple, while the final release should be, when it comes out with Leopard.

3) My macbook got a bit hotter than under Oh Ess Ex

4) Around 80% battery life of Owwessten's

I have Vista Ultimate (RTM) installed both via Bootcamp and Parallels - no issues at all. I also tried vista Business, worked fine as well.
