A few questions about Windows 7 RC on Unibody 13 Macbook

Hey guys,

I'm sure these questions have been answered before, but I could not find them even after a lot of searching:

1) What is the battery life you get on Windows 7 compared to OS X?
2) Does the right click (bottom right area) work in Windows 7? What about the double touch right click?

Thanks!

 

Just installed this last week on mine.

1. Battery meter says 2-2.5 hours, but I haven't checked this with actual runtime. In the next few weeks I'll have a chance to play around with undervolting the cpu with RMClock, so will see how that improves things (expecting max 30 minutes, I think, if I'm lucky). The screen brightness also defaults to max - and the kb backlight is disabled - when you finally get W7 up and running, so you'll want to change this.

2. This really should be in an FAQ somewhere, because it is completely not intuitive, and I (like others) spent many minutes of frustration before finally searching Google for the answer ;(. R click in W7 (be sure to install the trackpad update) is to hold TWO fingers on the trackpad and click. You can't use the custom trackpad corner locations from OSX that you're talking about.

I can't get single tap to click working, but I haven't spent a lot of time trying to fix that.

 

to double tap, just install the apple multitouch update from the apple software update. then go to bootcamp setting and check the "Tap tp click" checkbox.
