| Hey guys, have a MacBook being delivered this week with SnowLeopard installed, was thinking of putting Win 7 on it also...or instead. Anyone done this? Is it worth it? Have read Win 7 is faster on it, but concerned some drivers wont work without bootcamping, like the webcam and some touchpad functions. Was wondering if I should bootcamp it or just do a full install of 7. Got the Mac for $550 so stoked and its a "Unibody" - Late 2009 model Cos. |

| Yeh u will need bootcamp as it is a necessity. Runs perfect btw on a Mac. I ran win7 on my work MacBook till me boss told me to take it off. Runs perfectly just like a pc laptop with only the odd things missing here and there. |
