Boot Camp Vista

Ok, I am getting the mid grade macbook (2 Ghz, 2Gb ram, 120 Gig HDD) and I am planning on getting bootcamp for mindless windows tasks. I have acess (legal) to an upgrade to windows vista ultimate. It is the 64 Bit edition, and I want to know if I can up grade my copy of Xp to the vista Ultimate (x64) without any trouble.

No, im afraid you cant without trouble... its doable but it would be complicated as the boot camp drivers disk that works fine on xp, dosnt work in vista...

Its not long till leopard is released, this will fully support vista in boot camp.. id just wait and use xp for now.

Why use Boot Camp when you can use Parallels and run both windows mac at the same time? It is what I use, and I am extremely pleased with the performance!
